February 2, 2026 By Reuters Today, 9:52 pm This handout photograph provided by the office of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei shows him addressing a meeting with the people in Tehran on January 17, 2026. Iran’s leadership is increasingly worried a US strike could break its grip on power by driving an already enraged public back onto the streets, following a bloody crackdown on anti-government protests, six current and former officials tell Reuters. In high-level meetings, officials tell Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that public anger over last month’s crackdown — the bloodiest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution — has reached a point where fear is no longer a deterrent, four current officials briefed on the discussions say. The officials say Khamenei was told that many Iranians were prepared to confront security forces again and that external pressure such as a limited US strike could embolden them and inflict irreparable damage to the political establishment.

That is the main concern among the top officials and that is what our enemies want,” says the official, who like the other officials contacted for this story declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter. The reported remarks are significant because they suggest private misgivings inside the leadership at odds with Tehran’s defiant public stance toward the protesters and the US. The sources decline to say how Khamenei responded. Iran’s Foreign Ministry does not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on this account of the meetings.

The Islamic Republic is executing prisoners and mixing their bodies with protesters to hide the scale of the massacre.

while un is a sack of rotting balls, what i believe will be a good one, is to establish regional assemblies. as an example: in the middle east: Israel, saudia, UAE, egypt and Iran (when it’s free), they will define the goals and strategies and sign agreement, the same goes for asia, america, europe and the rest. then there will be ambassadors from each assembly that will coordinate between the regional assemblies. what do you think of it?
