Classified documents and leaked recordings have exposed what appears to be a calculated plan by Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to suppress national protests, revealing that the deadly crackdown was not a spontaneous reaction but a pre-planned strategy approved in 2021.
The documents reveal a 129-page protocol written by the Revolutionary Guards' "Sarallah" command that anticipated a national uprising months, and in some cases years, before protests erupted.
The detailed plan left nothing to chance, specifying exactly when to transition from police dispersal of demonstrations to brutal military suppression by the Revolutionary Guards, under the designation of an "armed security situation."
According to the leaked materials, the Supreme Leader signed orders instructing the communications ministry to impose severe internet restrictions or shut it down entirely once protests reached their peak, aiming to isolate demonstrators and prevent the world from witnessing events in the streets.
The scheme included sophisticated psychological warfare tactics, such as deploying undercover agents within crowds to redirect chants of "Death to Khamenei" toward other slogans, intending to divide and weaken the opposition movement.
On the ground, security forces fired live ammunition into crowds, blinded protesters with rubber bullets, raided hospitals and killed the wounded, and even forced bereaved families to pay for the bullets used to kill their loved ones, according to the documents.
