Leaked notes from meetings between Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei and the country’s political leaders and heads of security
expressed that the recent nationwide protests have hurt every sector of
the economy and “threaten the regime’s security”.
The report which was leaked to Fox News,
covered several meetings up until December 31. It was translated from
Farsi to English and was provided from a high level source within the
regime to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), according
to the news agency.
The meeting notes between Iran’s leading figures discussed the rising unrest and how to clamp down on it.
“Religious
leaders and the leadership must come to the scene as soon as possible
and prevent the situation (from) deteriorating further,” the report
said. “God help us, this is a very complex situation and is different
from previous occasions.”
“In Tehran
today, people were chanting slogans against Khamenei and the slogans
used yesterday were all against Khamenei,” it added.
According to Fox News,
the notes said that the intelligence division of the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is “monitoring the situation” and
“working all in coordination to prevent protests.”
The
notes also show that the regime is aware of the slogans being chanted.
It specifically mentions slogans that included “Death to the dictator,”
and “the leader lives like God while the people live like beggars.”
A
“red alert” has not yet been declared according to the notes, as it
would lead to direct military intervention in the protests, but the
Iranian leaders predicted that sending IRGC or the Bassij forces would
“backfire” and further “antagonize the protesters.”
They
also mention NCRI leader, Maryam Rajavi, and the “Infidels,” which the
translation says refers to “the West,” “are united for the first time.”
It continued, “Maryam Rajavi is hoping for regime change,” saying the
protests are “definitely organized,” and “the security forces report
that the MEK is very active and is leading and directing them.”
Support
for the protests from President Trump and US officials were also
mentioned in the report. “The United States officially supported the
people on the streets.” The notes continued by saying the US and the
West “have all united in support of the Hypocrites.”
The meeting notes also warn that all those affiliated with leadership “must be on alert and monitor the situation constantly.”
“The
security and intelligence forces must constantly monitor the situation
on the scene and conduct surveillance and subsequently report to the
office of the leadership,” the notes said.
As
the protests continue in Iranian cities for the sixth day in a row,
clashes between security forces and protesters led to the rise of the
death toll to 20, with Iranian State TV reporting nine more killed on
Tuesday.
