Current Situation (As of early 2026):
Despite the lack of major US media coverage, reports indicate that anti-regime protests have escalated into a serious uprising, with thousands of deaths reported during a "two-day bloodbath" in January 2026, according to human rights groups and leaked information. US government-funded media, such as the Voice of America's Persian-language service, has increased its coverage, adding hours of live, specialized programming. However, mainstream television coverage has not matched the severity of the crisis.

the Revolution going on in Iran. I thought AI telling it was happening was
enough of a fact to related to others. I didn't mean to be misleading but
factual.
As of early February 2026, a intense,, widespread uprising is challenging the Iranian regime following severe economic crises, with thousands protesting and reports of significant casualties and over 18,000 arrests. The movement, featuring "Death to Khamenei" chants, is met with brutal state repression, including internet blackouts, though protests persist across various cities.
- Scale and Scope: The unrest, which began around late December 2025, involves diverse social classes protesting inflation, high prices, and the clerical establishment.
- Regime Response: Authorities are employing violent suppression, resulting in thousands of deaths and detentions, described as a "massacre". The government has also imposed severe internet blackouts to stifle mobilization. (Tousi.tv got through)
- Economic Drivers: Protests were triggered by a crashing currency and high inflation, with the regime initially suggesting economic relief before switching to a hardline crackdown. (they offered each person $7 dollars.) (Money is zilch! Jobs are gone. So is food and water).
- Outlook: While some analysts see the potential for a revolution, others suggest the regime's intense, violent crackdown may crush the movement, or it could lead to a, more militarized, IRGC-led, state, Fortune. (This time the Revolution is taking; Crown Prince Pavlovi is leading it. It's a happening. )
- International Context: The U.S. has maintained a travel advisory warning against travel to Iran, while CNN reported a U.S. carrier strike group moving to the region.
US carrier strike group is now in the Middle East region, sources say.
The situation remains highly volatile, with the
regime's survival
appearing more uncertain than in previous uprisings, though it
retains strong, coercive control.
still in the planning.)
The question still remains: Why hasn't the West-meaning the abc, CNN,
NBC, etc, well known websites picked up the Revolution? Do they have
reporters there? The Ayatollah of Iran closed down their internet but can't
American reporters get their own facts on this? If not, why? Are they all
rooting for the Ayatollas's regime? It looks like it to me.

Pardon to people reading my copy under a different title. I was called on it as not being correct. I
have been trusting Tousi.tv. I still do until proven wrong. Again, this world is upside down. Nada
Much better Title!
