Now that the dust has mostly settled we can see much more clearly what happened in Iran that was mostly censored by America’s Deep State medias. Disclose TV reported, "The Iranian people, when they don't hear bombs, go off, they're upset. They want to hear bombs, because they want to be free." They all knew the bombs were from America. Failure to hear them meant that America’s attack on the hated Islamic Revolutionary Guard Core (IRGC)– had been unsuccessful. POTUS explained to a reporter that the Iranian people yearn for freedom: “We've had numerous intercepts; ‘Please keep bombing, and these are people that are living where the bombs are exploding’… They want freedom. They have lived in a world that you know nothing about” (X22 Reports, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3877b, April 6, 2026, 42:41).

Islam has a centuries long history of suppressing women’s rights. Today demonstrations in Iran focus on women’s right to life and freedom. Activists, journalists, singers and other public figures are targeted by the government for arbitrary detention, torture through flogging, coercive interrogations and threats. Some few have been murdered. Compulsory veiling is the major sign of subordination. The IRGC sees protesting as defiance toward the government.

Nima Ebadi, an Iranian, explained what that world was/is like. “Let me tell you what POTUS is talking about here: In Iran, if you protest, you die. Not metaphorically. Snipers on rooftops shoot people in the head and chest. In January, the regime massacred thousands in the streets, many of them young people whose only crime was demanding a normal life. When he says Iranians are telling the US to keep bombing he is describing a population so desperate to be free from the regime that murders them for political protesting that they are willing to endure war if it means that the system that is terrorizing them for 47 years finally falls. You may not understand that. Most westerners can't. You've never lived in a country where your daughter can be shot in the face for not covering her hair. Where your son disappears into even prison and you get a call to come pick up the body. Where the Internet goes dark so the world can't see the killing. That's what they have lived. In a world that you know nothing about.…Understand the Iranian people have been begging the world to see them for years. This is the first U.S. president to say it out loud” (Rapid Response 47, Ep. 3878b, April 7, 2026, 36:52). Or, to offer help he may add.

The uncensored outlets spoke of at least 30,000 Iranians massacred in Iran by their own IRGC government last January for protesting and another 12,000 in the three months following. With the nation on total blackout at the time it was virtually impossible to confirm. It appears clear that both Israel and the United States only targeted the hated IRGC regime and not the Iranian army or the Iranian people. The IRGC, served as their Deep State police to protect the fanatical Islamic Theocratic system—the part that feels itself destined by God to destroy all that do not convert to Islam or are not obedient to the rules of Islam. It allows no tolerance.

Those protesting included eight women condemned to be executed by hanging for not covering their hair in public. Trump issued a plea to Iran to release these women. "Please do them no harm!,” he said. Iran, decided not to carry out the sentence. Instead, “Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison. Trump expressed his appreciation to the leadership in Iran for honoring his request.” The left's only comment was these photos look AI enhanced. Perhaps, but that has nothing to do with story accuracy.

Those protesting included eight women condemned to be first raped then executed by hanging for not covering their hair in public. “Not a word from even one international community or so-called human rights organizations.” Trump issued a plea to them to release these women. "Please do them no harm!,” he said (Ep. 3888b, April 21, 2026, 21:430). Iran, decided not to carry out the sentence. Instead, “Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison. Trump expressed his appreciation to the leadership in Iran for honoring his request” (Ep. 3889b, April 22, 2026, 29:37). It is likely, this leniency came about because of the developing new government, the Republic of Iran. The IRGC government would have permitted no such leniency. They believe raping first, before execution, degrades the victim beyond repair in the next world—a double punishment for their defiance.

As a result of 47 years of religious tyranny the people have never loved their government. Consequently even now, last week, Tausi TV reports, "Armed clashes erupt across major cities in Iran. Confirmed fighting reported in Tehran, Tabriz in the northwest, Ahvaz in the south, and Isfahan in the center near key nuclear facilities including Natanz. Verification took hours due to a flood of disinformation and an ongoing Internet shut down inside Iran. Zero Internet access, with only some using Starlink, is slowing communication as the situation unfolds.”

This is confirmed by The Iran Watcher. "Armed clashes between the Iranian army and the IRGC are reportedly erupting inside Iran. According to Alhurra, citing informed military and political sources inside Iran, tensions between the regular army, and the IRGC have escalated into armed confrontations in Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, and Ahraz following the death of Khomeini… The backdrop here is important. The founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khomeini, originally created the IRGC because he feared a military coup from the regular Iranian army after the revolution. Over the decades, the regime transformed the IRGC into a parallel military empire, giving it far more funding, political influence, economic control, and technological favoritism than the regular army. While the army was often sidelined and distrusted, the IRGC became
the regimes real power center, controlling major sections of the economy, missile forces, intelligence operations, and proxy networks across the regime” (Ep. 3910b, May 21, 2026, 29:48).

Iranian resistance to the IRGC government was in place even before Trump dropped the first bomb on Iran last February. Tony Seruga, an investigative reporter, in a May 29, 2026 piece called “Iranians vs. Iran:Mossad’s Sleeper Agents—Not Israelis—Led the Ground Assault that Crushed Tehran’s Air Defenses in Operation Rising Lion,” enabling Iranian nationals recruited & trained by Mossad (Israel’s intelligence arm) to destroy “a key air-defense site near Tehran, paving the way for Israeli jets to strike deep. Weapons, drones & missile parts were smuggled in — disassembled and hidden in everyday items like luggage or appliances. Final target coords dropped only minutes before launch. Additional Mossad cells activated that same night guided precision strikes on senior IRGC aerospace commanders and crippled more air defenses + ballistic missile systems across Tehran and western Iran.”

America’s Deep State media get their news exclusively from the IRGC. The censored side, and Trump, prefers the side of the people and new forming Republic. Trump says "Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the USA and those that are with us.” Trump tells his critics, "Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end – it always does!” (Ep.3917b, June 1, 2026, 31:53). He expects Iran to liberate itself and it appears to be doing just.
