Hezbollah, Iraqi Militia Fighters Crossing Into Iran to Be Regime Storm Troops – HotAir

City after city has been reclaimed by jubilant, joyous crowds across Iran in the past few days.





The streets in the capital of Tehran are alive tonight. 

Throngs of people, who sometimes seem as if it’s the entire population in the street at one time, are marching and cheering, defying the basiji thugs who would brutalize and beat them back. 

Or the few soldiers who would fire on them.

But it sounds as if, thanks to a desperate last-minute attempt to hold onto power, some of the happy revelers in the streets of Iran’s cities will shortly meet the hard rubber of the foreign fanatics their rulers have been buying off all these decades. Iran has spent billions over the years supporting the terrorist organizations of Hezbollah and Hamas, and financing its satellite subsidiaries of terror in Iraq, the militias.

A few days ago, the Iranian mullahs were trying to scrape up a $7 a month allowance for every Iranian citizen in an attempt to mollify the crowds growing in the streets and the anger festering in Iranian hearts. 





Iran Offers Citizens $7 a Month in a Bid to Cool Protests

Facing protests sparked by a deepening economic crisis, Iran’s government announced plans on Monday to provide most citizens with a monthly payment equivalent to around $7.

The plan, according to the government spokeswoman, Fatameh Mohajerani, is aimed at “preserving households’ purchasing power, controlling inflation, and ensuring food security.” But it will likely do little to ease the economic struggles of most Iranians, whose minimum needs cost upward of $200 a month.

All it did was make people angrier, knowing how their lives were so miserable, suffering under international sanctions. Yet the regime had a billion dollars this year alone to send to Hezbollah when it couldn’t even keep the lights and water in Tehran on.

The United States seeks to take advantage of a “moment” in Lebanon in which it can cut Iranian funding to Hezbollah and press the terror group to disarm, the US Treasury Department’s top sanctions official said.

In a late Friday interview, John Hurley, the undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said Iran has managed to funnel about $1 billion to Hezbollah this year despite a raft of Western sanctions that have battered its economy.

That was the last straw.





…!!Large demonstrations in Tehran!!

Iran offers its citizens 7 dollars monthly in subsidies due to the severe economic crisis.

Meanwhile, each Hezbollah terrorist receives 800 dollars monthly from Iran.

Now do you understand why they’re fed up?

But Hezbollah and the militias are apparently repaying that debt by crossing the border into Iran to carry out the dirty work of intimidation, assaults and execution in an attempt to preserve the regime’s power that the Iranian military suddenly seems incapable of protecting.

It’s as if Khamenei has called the orcs to life, and they are springing from the foulest places of the earth to gather and wage a final assault on people who are desperate for release from their bondage.

As anti-regime protests spread across Iran for a 12th straight day, the Islamic Republic has reportedly turned to foreign militias for support, with two independent sources confirming that roughly 850 Hezbollah, Iraqi militia and Quds Force-linked fighters crossed into Iran to bolster the regime’s security forces.

The reported movement marks a significant escalation in the regime’s response, signaling a willingness to rely on allied foreign militias with combat experience to help suppress domestic dissent.

“This is nothing new for the regime. It is the logical extension of a playbook the ruling clerics have used since 1979 to outsource repression to ideologically loyal militias and then integrate them into the state’s coercive infrastructure,” Iran expert Lisa Daftari told Fox News Digital. 





ARABIC HEARD IN THE STREETS

…”Since protests dating back to 2009, there were always allegations of Arabic being heard on the street,” Ben Taleblu told Fox News Digital. “As the contest between the state and the street continues to heat up, all eyes will be on Iran’s security forces to see if they defect or disobey orders to crack down. The problem is, so is the regime. And to that end, the Islamic Republic may have devised a failsafe for itself against popular anger. Foreign proxies. Whether Lebanese Hezbollah, Iraqi Shiite militias, or the Afghan Fatemiyoun, their function would be the same: to fire on Iranians when other Iranians won’t.”

Earlier reporting from Iran International also indicated that Iraqi Shiite militia reinforcements were deployed to Iran in early January to assist in suppressing protests. Estimates placed the number of fighters at roughly 800, with militants reportedly crossing the border under the pretense of religious pilgrimages before gathering at a base in Ahvaz and being dispatched to various regions.

I don’t know if 800 or even 2000 foreign mercenaries are going to be enough this time. However, a Mossad-connected group and other sources are reporting that the Revolutionary Guard is being deployed to at least two cities as their thuggish basiji enforcers collapse and are routed by angry crowds time and again.

According to Mehr News Agency, Iranian authorities are not relying on the Basij tonight and are instead deploying Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Ground Forces into major cities. 

The report says these forces are tasked with regime protection, not routine policing — a sign of heightened concern in Tehran.





They should be very worried.

It’s kind of ironic to watch Islamic fanatics get mowed down by a vehicle. [WARNING: GRAPHIC]

I wonder what the motive was?

The regime shut down the internet tonight, but Musk’s Starlink is getting video and reports out, and enabling communications between protesters and the world.

Reza Pahlavi had gotten the word out during a video call earlier that thousands of Starlink devices had been smuggled into the country, that Starlink satellites were positioned over the country, and that the service would be free.





…And this is a kind of declaration of readiness for tomorrow’s program (call at 8 PM Thursday, 18 Dey).

Of course, reports have reached us that the regime is terribly frightened and is trying to cut off the internet once again.

Know that our communication will not be cut off; whether through hundreds of thousands of Starlink devices in Iran, or through the networks of Iran International and Manoto.

But if the regime makes this mistake and cuts off the internet, this itself is another call to continue the presence and seize the streets, and in this way, you will drive another nail into the coffin of this regime.

Be victorious. Long live Iran!

Videos have been getting out all evening through the government blackout.

I don’t know that there will be enough foreign terrorists imported to cover the entire country.

This is being described as the ‘most intense night so far,’ and reportedly, 111 cities are engulfed in revolutionary fervor.

And where the most daring thing was waving a tiny lion and sun flag a few days ago, there are so many of these being flown now, and people are openly marching along with photos and posters of Reza Pahlavi, the presumed Shah in waiting.





Astounding scenes, but with the most brutal yet to come, I’m afraid.

It ain’t over ’til it’s over, but I believe the world will see most of it as it happens this time.
