Iran MASS KILLS Civilians… Trump’s Revenge Was INSTANT and BRUTAL
Business Basics
The Iranian streets have turned into a war zone and the regime is killing its own people at a rate we have never seen before. But despite the bullets, the mass arrest, and a debt toll now estimated at over 12,000, the revolution is not stopping. While the regime uses a total internet blackout to hide its debt squads, the world is finally waking up. For the first time, world leaders like German Chancellor Merz are openly predicting the fall of the Ayatollah.
President Trump says help is on its way, as US jets increase activity at airbases across the Middle East. We start with one of the craziest reports coming out of the revolution. According to a new assessment based on medical data that's coming out of Iran, at least 12,000 people have been killed in the largest killing in Iran's history. Most of the killings took place on the nights of January 8th and January 9th. Those were the first two nights when the internet was shut down.
This is exactly what the Iranian regime wanted to hide from the world. But the reason we are learning all this is because of Iranian doctors. They are risking their lives and speaking to foreign press. Take a listen.
Just if you could tell us a little bit more about the key findings from the doctor's testimony, the doctor that you've spoken to, you said that the doctor has said that there's been live ammunition and military grade weapons that have been used against civilians? Exactly.
So, the key points are that, number one, he says as of Thursday around 10 p.m., the injured people coming in, this is a guy who is in the operation room doing surgery on the injured, he says that the nature of injuries immediately changed. They went from being rubber bullets or pellet guns or single shotguns to becoming machine gun wounds, war-type wounds. And he said all the hospitals were overwhelmed.
They just did not have the personnel to accept so many dead and injured. The second issue he pointed out was that there seemed to have been a very concrete transition around midnight Thursday with the police forces ordered to pull back and revolutionary guards with military-grade weapons and Basij forces moving to the front to maw people. He was shocked at the indiscriminate
nature of the injuries and the wounds. In fact the killing has become so extensive that even the Islamic regime is being forced to admit that Iranians are dying. On their state TV they're saying that 2,000 people have been killed so far most of them being ordinary Iranians. Now I will say there is some debate as to exactly how many people have been killed because we are not getting a lot of information due to the internet shutdown, but if the regime itself is willing
to admit 2,000 people have died, imagine what the reality is. On top of this, we also know that Khamenei himself ordered the massacre. Information coming from Iran's Supreme National Security Council and the presidential office say that the 2,000-plus killings were carried out on Hamane's direct order. All three branches of the government knew and approved of this. This is documented chain of command.
That means if there's ever an ICC, International Criminal Court, prosecution about war crimes that are happening right now, we have paper trail proving who was responsible. And only reason we have this is because someone inside the government is leaking all this. That's a clear sign of defection. The reason for this defection is simple. The Iranian regime is going down a dark path to maintain power.
Ayatollah is deploying his death squads to make sure he doesn't lose power. Group of 8-10 IRGC Basij members are sent into the streets and are given direct orders to shoot on sight and shoot for kill. This is exactly why we are seeing figures like 12,000 people killed. That's a figure that's actually higher than Tiananmen Square Massacre that happened in 1989.
And that's exactly why this crackdown has now become the biggest killing that has ever taken place in Iranian history. But despite this crackdown and despite internet being shut down, the protesters are not quieting down. And this is why the regime itself has called on its own protesters to hold a rally. The goal of this rally was to get some footage so they can broadcast it on state TV and hopefully tell protesters that it's not worth going out, it's not worth risking their lives. Take a look.
Smiling and waving, hand on heart, Iran's President Massoud Pazdjian, as he marched alongside crowds, the government asked to come out in support. As videos like this one show the bodies of those who oppose it lying in morg crowds, the government asked to come out in support, as videos like this one show the bodies of those who oppose it lying in morgues. The cries of a relative off screen, but unmistakable. As the regime imposed internet blackout enters its fifth day, snapshots of what Iranian authorities
don't want you to see continue to emerge slowly and with caution. These images, too distressing and dangerous for relatives to show unblurred, reveal families looking for their loved ones among the dead, with so many body bags that some are left lying outside.
That's one of the saddest things I have ever seen. I cannot even imagine what families are feeling when they have to go through these morgues and they go through the bodies that they see just laying on the ground and then they have to look through all these hoping they don't find someone that belongs to their family It's just truly insane And this is why we're seeing that a lot of these funerals that are being held for protesters that were killed by security forces
People are publicly chanting about the overthrow of Khamenei. And this is exactly why the Iranian government is actually now banning funerals for people who have been killed in this revolution. Take a look. This all tells us one thing. If a regime has to go to these lengths just to make sure that it doesn't get overthrown, we know it stays unnumbered. And this is not just me saying it, we just had the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz say
this publicly. He became the first leader in the world to predict the downfall of the Iranian regime and the Ayatollah. Now, his comments could be based on intelligence that he's getting or it could be because he watches Business Basic videos and he's a subscriber. That's why.

Concerned about the news of increasing violence by the police, the so-called revolutionary guard in Iran against its own population. I take this opportunity to once again call on the Mullah regime to stop this violence immediately. If a regime can only maintain its power through violence, then it is effectively finished. I assume we are now seeing the last days and weeks of this regime."

Get started freeAnd it's not just about the violence on the streets. The Iranian security forces have also arrested thousands of protesters since the revolution started, and the Ayatollah has declared these protesters enemy of God. That means they don't get a trial, they go directly to the death row. And the executions are set to begin on January 14th. This is horrible because it doesn't matter the country, every person has a right to protest against their government's actions. And that's why even the United Nations is speaking out
against this. Just take a listen.
A spokesperson for the UN Human Rights Chief today said he was horrified not just by the violence meted out by security forces against protesters, but suggestions they could soon face the death penalty.
It is also extremely worrying to see public statements by some judicial officials indicating the possibility of the death penalty being used against protesters through expedited This be heard and addressed and not instrumentalized by anyone.
This is where we shift our focus to the United States and look at some actions that the US has already taken. As you guys may already know, President Trump promised multiple times that if Iran kills protesters there will be consequences. And based on the evidence we're getting, the killing has gotten to an unprecedented level. So yesterday we saw Trump announce this on Twitter, saying,
Effective immediately, any country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a tariff of 25% on any and all business being done with the United States of America. This order is final and conclusive. Now, two things here. First of all, definitely a great news because it puts pressure where it hurts the most. It goes after the Iranian economy that's already struggling tremendously. Iran is already the second most sanctioned country on the world.
The first one being Russia, of course. But now, these tariffs go beyond sanctions. They go after countries that are still willing to deal with Iran. And that includes China. China is by far the biggest trading partner Iran has, with the Chinese market importing around $22 billion of Iranian goods, most of it being Iranian oil. Of course, there are other trading partners like
Turkey, India, Germany, South Korea, and Japan. And now that we do have this announcement, we hope to see that some of that trade will go down. Now this is where we talk about the second thing, because announcing a law is one thing, but the enforcement is a whole another thing. Now, President Trump has announced 25% of tariff, but let's see what countries actually face this 25%. As you guys might have expected, China has already shown its displeasure to say the least about these tariffs that President Trump announced. And it's important to point out the hypocrisy here.
There's still no comments from the CCP about the protesters that are being killed in Iran. I guess it makes sense. The CCP is more worried about its own oil than the Iranian people who are dying on the streets. Nonetheless, the US action didn't just stop there. On Tuesday, President Trump was supposed to have this meeting with his commanders and his cabinet officials to get a briefing on what options the US has to get involved inside Iran, to basically help the protesters. I'm guessing that meeting has concluded because on Tuesday he tweeted this out.
Iranian patriots, keep protesting. Take over your institutions. Save the names of killers and abusers. They willots, keep protesting. Take over your institutions. Save the names of killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all the meetings with Iranian officials until the senseless killings of protesters stop. Help is on its way." Now, we don't exactly know what it means, how US is going to get involved, but we do know one
thing. The US jets are becoming more active than usual in the Middle East. And as you guys know, US has a lot of bases in the Middle East. So that could mean military strikes or it could mean something else entirely. We'll find out, only time will tell. But here are the options that US could possibly deploy. Take a look.
Well, he's got a series of non-kinetic options. So political support, maybe cyber attacking IRGC, trying to reduce the effectiveness of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the Basij, who are the sort of paramilitaries, like the secret police who work with them, very brutal. So there's things they might do there. Also helping to create a political platform. There is a transitional council and people like Sheri Nabadi, the Nobel Prize winner, are on it, are available.
So they're trying to put forward people who would represent an alternative. That's all good political stuff. But President Trump, of course, keeps talking in more aggressive terms as if he's got a series of military options. And in theory, he does. I mean, he's got their military bases all over the Middle East.
And the Americans have got a base in more or less every Middle Eastern country. And they've got plenty of air bases. So the two big ones are in Al Udeid in Qatar, just in Doha, just outside Doha, and Al Dhafra in the UAE. And both of those bases contain pretty big air wings, which can be used. And if those bases are not available because of sensibilities of Middle Eastern states,
then you're talking about Ramstein in Germany. And although that's quite a long stretch, Equatorial Cyprus may play some sort of part. Nobody said so, but it's logical if you think about it.
As you guys know, the revolution is still ongoing and we'll make sure to keep you guys updated as we get more reports. So be sure to hit the subscribe button down below. My name is Sam and I will see you guys in the next video. One of the problems with making videos like these, where we show a lot of drone strikes, even if no human or Russian soldiers are getting hurt in the video, YouTube usually demonetizes or restricts our videos. In fact, in the last week, we had 4 of our videos get demonetized.
According to YouTube, showing drone strikes or even footage from the front lines is not advertiser friendly and that's why the videos are restricted. But, this is the reality of modern warfare and this is the war Ukrainians are fighting and trying to survive. So, we believe it's important to cover this all. And that's why we launched our own platform, Basics Insider. We built it from scratch, so we don't have any restrictions. We don't have to blur our drone strike, we don't have to blur our frontline footage,
and we don't have to blur Russian airbases getting destroyed. On top of this, we actually don't run any ads on the site. That way, we don't have to censor ourselves just because advertisers are not happy about what we are covering. We don't fund the site through ads. We fund it through your support.
