New Delhi/Tehran, January 15, 2026 The large-scale anti-government protests that erupted in Iran at the end of December 2025 have now been completely subdued. The Iranian government and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have officially declared that full control has been restored across the country and the foreign-backed conspiracy has been decisively crushed.
→ Trump's Initial Provocation and Sudden Retreat
U.S. President Donald Trump initially openly incited the protesters. He declared: "The Iranian people should continue their protests – help is on the way." He further warned that if violence continued against demonstrators, America was "locked and loaded" and would take severe action.
This statement caused oil prices to surge and raised fears of war in the Middle East. But within just days, Trump's tone dramatically changed. Speaking to reporters at the White House, he stated:
"I have received information from very reliable sources that killings in Iran have stopped and there are no plans for executions." He added cautiously: "We will see what happens next."
→ Why the Sudden Change? Iran Completely Foiled External Interference
This shift came after Iran successfully neutralized all external attempts to destabilize the country. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in an interview with Fox News, said: "Executions are completely out of the question. There is no such plan at all. All these rumors are part of the American-Israeli misinformation campaign."
Iran has officially described the protests as a "hybrid attack" orchestrated and supported by the United States and Israel.
→ IRGC Commander's Strong Warning: America & Israel Are the Real Killers Major General Mohammad Pakpur, Commander of the IRGC, made a clear and strong statement:
"America and Israel are the real murderers – both of the protesters and of our security forces. Trump and Netanyahu are the killers of Iranian youth. At the appropriate time, we will give them a decisive and crushing response." The IRGC claims that protesters were supplied with weapons and funding from foreign powers, but Iranian security forces completely eliminated these "terrorist elements."
→ Internet Shutdown & Mass Arrests Helped Restore Order
The Iranian government temporarily suspended internet and telephone services to block the flow of external propaganda and disinformation. Today the situation is fully normal. In several provinces, large-scale arrests were carried out and foreign agents were captured.
The IRGC reiterated: "The security of the country is our red line – no external interference will be tolerated."
→ True Face of the Protests: A Foreign-Backed Conspiracy
Human rights organizations and opposition media exaggerated death figures, but Iranian authorities dismissed them as "misinformation and propaganda."
The protests began with economic grievances, but quickly turned into anti-regime slogans like "Death to the Dictator" and attempts to wave foreign flags – clear signs of American-Israeli orchestration.
Iran has described these events as an extension of the 12-day Israel-Iran war of 2025, with the enemy now trying to create internal chaos after failing on the battlefield.
→ Trump's New Statement Lowers War Fears The softened tone from the U.S. President has significantly reduced the possibility of military action. Oil prices have started falling again. Meanwhile, the Iranian government organized massive pro-government rallies across the country, demonstrating strong public support and declaring that the Islamic Republic is invincible.
This sequence of events proves that Iran's strong security apparatus and national unity can defeat any foreign conspiracy. With full government control restored, stability has returned to the country.
Iran has sent a clear warning to the world: any external interference will face a harsh and decisive response.
The world is now witnessing the strength of Iran's sovereignty and security. The failure of the America-Israel plot has brought new hope for regional peace.
