The Islamic regime is still going around shooting Iranians in the streets.

Reports also say girls school was hit by Iranian rocket that misfired.
I did see the video of it launch and come down not far from launch site didn't save it as lots of things happening.

It's a divide between those who believe their prophet rode a flying donkey and those who don't believe in flying donkeys.

There are no official numbers from the Islamic regime on disbelief in Islam they have admitted with 75K mosques over 50K of them have closed due to nobody going to them.
That is the only number released by IR.

Younger generation have mostly rejected Islam Grandparents have told them how free they were in the 1970s before Islamic revolution.

Many videos going back over a decade with islamic regime painting Israel and USA flags outside doorways so students could walk on those flags yet over 99% chose not to walk on them they walked around them and abused the tiny minority who did.

I would guess around 80% hate Islamic regime they chant marg bar Khamenei (death to the dictator).

All the recent protests in Iran have them chanting Javid Shah (long live the King)

More right-wing propaganda

But, at the same time, there appears to be a sense of relief and celebration among those who believe the regime's downfall can only come through military intervention, says BBC Persian.

Iranians woke up on Sunday to confirmation that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei - who ruled Iran for more than 36 years - was killed in US and Israeli strikes launched a day ago.

"I can't believe it. It's like when they give you such a good news that you don't even know what to do," one person in the capital Tehran told BBC Persian.

"I couldn't sleep all night, I'm just waiting to start the first day without Khamenei in it. I think the Middle East has become a better place.

"Even [the] world has become a better place now."

Others are also glad. In one video from Saturday, a woman speaks with unmistakable relief, saying Khamenei's residence had been hit. Another clip shows teenagers at a school dancing and chanting that the strikes have happened, adding, "I love Trump."

Many people had been anticipating a possible US attack. Since Friday night, long queues have formed at petrol stations, and many residents of the capital, Tehran, have begun leaving the city for the north, near the Caspian Sea, which they believe is safer.

With Iran coming under an almost total internet blackout since the attacks started, it has been difficult to contact anyone inside the country.

Some people briefly managed to access the internet using methods such as SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet and virtual private networks, and may be able to do so again.

The BBC has, however, been able to reach a number of pro-regime figures who spoke about the situation in Tehran.

"We have heard lots of explosions. I live in middle of Tehran," one of them told BBC Newshour.

"This was a normal day until the United States and Israel started attacking the city. Our children have gone to a school in the morning. We had to go and get the children."

Another told the BBC Weekend programme he heard fighter jets and two explosions early on Saturday morning from his office in the north of the city. The atmosphere was tense and there was a sense of war in the air.

He said that people were shopping and stocking up on canned food.

One resident earlier told BBC Persian via Starlink there had been a heavy security presence on streets leading to the compound of the Leadership House - Khamenei's office.

Before the blackout, some people posted messages on social media in case they were killed in air strikes.

"If I die, don't forget that we exist too - those of us who oppose any military attack, those of us who will become just a number in reports of the dead," one Iranian wrote on social media.

Another wrote: "Damn the Islamic dictatorship that caused this war. We have already endured three wars."

Some posts highlight the strain of communication and fear for children caught in the conflict: "The internet is almost down... If the network is completely cut, know that we are not soldiers for any leader, nor collateral damage," said another user.

"We are human and have the right to live. Try to make our future democratic, not dependent on individuals."

Another user wrote: "Promise that if anything happens to us, you will look after our children and be very, very kind to them. Tell them we did everything we could - we joined silent marches, we voted, we worked multiple shifts, we endured great hardship."

According to BBC Persian, many Iranians who lived through what has been described as one of the bloodiest crackdowns on civilians in modern history say they now welcome regime change - even if it comes through military intervention and the killing of senior officials.

Others, however, fear that air strikes alone may not bring about the regime's collapse.

They worry it could survive and, in response, become even more brutal towards its own people.

At the time of protests more than a month ago in which thousands were killed, Trump had encouraged Iranians to continue protesting, vowing that help was on the way.

Now, some Iranians report receiving text messages reading, "Help has come" - urging people to stay at home and calling on regime forces to lay down their arms.

But public sentiment could shift sharply if civilians are killed in the strikes, with many Iranians reacting with anger after state media reported that an Israeli strike on a girls' school killed dozens of people. There is no confirmation.

An Iranian living abroad who opposes military intervention in Iran commented: "The first victims of this war are 40 girls in Minab, hit by a missile attack. Is this the war you cheer for?"

Deep mistrust of the Iranian regime, however, makes official reports difficult for many to accept, and some Iranians directly blamed the regime for the attack.

One user wrote: "Even if the regime did not directly target schools, the deaths of children in Minab remain the responsibility of the Islamic Republic.

"People have no shelters, the internet is cut, phone lines are down, and there has been no warning to keep children out of school. In these conditions, the minimum requirement should be to stay at home."

freediver,

How could that help ordinary Iranians ?

Because......the Shia ISLAMIC regime within Iran......has decided that its own regime,
wants to have total control of the flow of all information....within Iran.

Therefore, they [the Shia ISLAMIC regime] have prohibited the possession starlink internet devices.

So they [the Shia ISLAMIC regime] could, LAWFULLY, simply exercise a lethal penalty upon anyone who does not obey their lawful decree.

i.e.
We out side of Iran may not like it.......
but the Shia ISLAMIC regime within Iran, at the moment,
HAS 'THE LAWFUL AUTHORITY'
to decide what is a LAWFUL act,
and what is NOT a LAWFUL act,
within Iranian territory.



So Iranians......are not permitted to be in possession, of starlink internet devices.

And.......we all have to obey the LAWFUL 'civil' authority which is over us,
don't we freediver ?

Otherwise, we would be living within a society, in which anarchy 'reigns'.

We don't want that....do we freediver ?

Most of the Iranian missiles are launched from trucks so when the IDF and US blow up these trucks it reduces capability to fire more missiles.

Flight radar shows over 25 B52 bombers left USA earlier today heading towards Middle East.

Bringing B52s into play shows the US isn't that worried about air defences in Iran.

Starmer didn't let Trump use any UK bases for initial attack he has changed now allowing it.

Saudis Qatar UAE and Bahrain are pissed off with Iran since their missiles hit civilian areas vowing retaliation maybe they will backflip on letting US use their US bases there to attack Iran. The largest US base is in Qatar.
Saudis moving troops into Bahrain to squash any Shiite uprising there.

Hearing reports IDF and Mossad agents have entered Iran not confirmed probably just gathering intel for air strikes at this stage.

IRGC Basij and Police building along with a few mosques destroyed these regime members are now moving into schools and hospitals and using buses.

Iranians are keeping their kids away from schools.

The majority of the population are Persians.

Okay, a few Alawites, Bolochs, Kurds, Druze. But the majority aren't hard to work out.

Iranians aren't tribal like the Arabs. They identify largely as Persians, not members of an extended family, clan or sect. There are no rival gangs storing weapons, like in Syria and Gaza. There are no rival families jousting for power. There are no sectarian militias, like in Libya, spilling into neighboring countries and causing problems there.

Hezbollah, Iran's foreign militia, is an extension of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It can't outlive the regime itself. It has never jostled for power within Iran or contested the mullahs, Iran's Supreme Leadership Authority.

The "fanatics" you describe are an Arabic phenomenon that predate Islam. Mohammed's chief ambition was to unite the Arabic tribes under a single faith. It's debatable whether he ever achieved this ambition.

Iranians were already united under the system of their former Persian empire. They've suffered overly-controlling emperors and despots for millennia. Whenever they haven't had strong leaders, they've been under constant threats of colonisation, invasion or foreign occupation, longest under the Mongals. They had a brief period of modernisation under the shahs, prior to the mullahs, but have been a largely urban, outward-looking trading society for much of their history. Their position on the Silk Road was a key factor in this.

Iran has a few central Asian tribal influences on its eastern periphery. All power, however, is centred in Tehran. No matter what your DL does - or perhaps more importantly, the Israelis - this won't change. If you're seeking regime change, you need a few fanatics.

It's becoming clear now that your DL had no plan for regime change in the first place. All orders are coming from Jerusalem. Regime change is Bibi's baby. Obviously, he hasn't given much thought to who he wants the mullahs replaced with.

You?
