Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Islamic Republic's Parliament, said today on the parliament floor: If the United States takes action to attack Iran, both Israel and all American centers, bases, and ships in the region will be Iran's "legitimate targets." He added that the Islamic Republic no longer considers itself limited to reacting after an action occurs, and will take action based on "objective signs of threat." @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

♦️Senior Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, in a Fox interview referring to Donald Trump's support for the Iranian people, said: Trump has done what Reagan did. Reagan went to the Berlin Wall and said, tear down this wall. Donald Trump has also chosen the people over the Ayatollah. The Republican senator added: Donald Trump says the best way to restore greatness to Iran is for the protesters to win and the regime to fall. How do you do this? Whatever action you're going to take, Mr. President, it must embolden the protesters and terrify the regime. Lindsey Graham emphasized: If I were you, Mr. President, I would kill the leadership that kills the people. You must put an end to this. He added: If it ends well, then peace will be established and all government activities supporting terrorism will stop. Lindsey Graham stressed: If the leader of the Islamic Republic survives, this will be a major step backward like during Obama's time. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Wall Street Journal: Trump to meet with senior cabinet members Tuesday about Iran protests 🔸The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, January 11, citing American officials, that Donald Trump, the US President, is scheduled to hold a meeting on Tuesday with senior government officials to discuss specific options for responding to the protests in Iran. 🔸According to the newspaper, this meeting will include reviewing potential next steps, including military strikes, deploying covert cyber weapons against Iranian military and civilian targets, imposing additional sanctions on the Iranian government, and strengthening anti-government resources and channels in online spaces. 🔸The White House has announced it will not comment on this report. 🔸The Wall Street Journal stated that officials such as the Defense and State Secretaries will attend Tuesday's meeting, but the US President is not expected to make a final decision, and no immediate action is anticipated. 🔸The US government is also considering sending Starlink devices inside Iran; this would be the first time Mr. Trump would authorize the transfer of these terminals for receiving satellite internet to Iran. 🔸According to this report, the Pentagon has not moved any forces in preparation for potential military attacks. For the United States to carry out any strike, it would need to not only deploy necessary equipment and capabilities, but also make arrangements to protect American forces in the region. 🔸Since the start of Iran's protests, Donald Trump has repeatedly warned the Islamic Republic not to kill protesters. On Saturday, he posted a message saying the United States is ready to help Iran achieve freedom. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The organization emphasized that the current state of the internet in the country has caused severe restrictions on public communications and information sharing. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

In his first open statement about the widespread protests in Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian called the protesters "rioters" and "terrorists" and demanded that security forces take "decisive" action against them. Iran's Islamic Republic president, in a television interview broadcast on Sunday, January 21st, also claimed that the protesters—whose presence has intensified across various cities since last Thursday—are receiving "orders" from America and Israel. He added that "the enemy has brought trained terrorists into the country." This echoes the same narrative that other officials and government-affiliated media in Iran have been pushing for the past three days, labeling protesters as "terrorists." @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

⚠️Disturbing images ⚠️ Twelve videos received with this description: "These videos are from those killed on Thursday, January 9th at the Kahrizak forensic medicine facility in #Tehran. Someone who just managed to get out of Iran brought them. They're bringing the bodies in pickup trucks now. They tell people to search through them and find your own family member's body." In the first video, a monitor showing the photos has text underneath reading "photo number so-and-so out of 250" The date January 9th can also be seen for each photo. Vahid Many people on Twitter have written that they regret watching it. The number of bodies and the families' anguish is deeply moving. You might also be disturbed and perhaps it's better not to watch, but I cannot refrain from sharing them. Especially since the internet is cut off in Iran and these things that reach the outside world with great difficulty must be seen and heard by the world. ❗️Even without watching, you can help tremendously by retweeting this English tweet: Vahid 📡 @VahidOnline

The New York Times reported, citing several American officials, that while Trump is considering making good on his threat to attack the Islamic Republic over its crackdown on protesters, he has been presented with new options for carrying out these strikes in recent days. According to this report, Trump has not yet made a final decision, but is seriously considering authorizing an attack. Senior American officials said that at least some of the options presented to Donald Trump regarding Iran directly target parts of the security apparatus responsible for suppressing the protests. A senior U.S. military official said commanders stationed in the region need more time before any potential attack to solidify American military positions and prepare for possible Iranian retaliation strikes. The report, quoting American officials, stated: Washington must be careful that any military attack doesn't backfire, including turning Iranian public opinion toward supporting the government or unleashing a wave of retaliatory attacks that could endanger the lives of U.S. military forces and diplomatic personnel in the region.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham addressed Iranian protesters on X, praising their "sacrifice" and writing: "Help is on the way." Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina, continued by saying "Your long nightmare will soon be over. Your courage and determination to end the oppression you face has caught the attention of the U.S. President and all freedom-loving people." Senator Graham says that when President Trump said "Make Iran Great Again," he meant that the protesters in Iran must triumph over the ayatollahs. This is the clearest sign yet that he fully understands that Iran will never become a great nation as long as the ayatollahs and their agents remain in power. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline
