    After Huda Kattan, the founder of the cosmetics brand "Huda Beauty," posted an image of a rally supporting the Islamic Republic, a wave of anger erupted among Iranians. Dozens of bloggers and thousands of ordinary users launched a spontaneous campaign to discard her products and called for a boycott of her brand. Huda Kattan apologized after facing this backlash, but the wave of boycotts of her products continues.
    @VahidOOnLine
    I was searching for her name when I came across this news from a few months ago: TikTok removed a video of Huda Kattan, the Iraqi-American entrepreneur, beauty influencer, and manager of Huda Beauty, for "spreading anti-Israeli conspiracy theories."

    🔸A source close to the family of Rasoul Salehi, who was arrested during the crackdown on protests in Yazdānshahr, says he is facing the risk of a death sentence. According to this source, Mr. Salehi, after the killing of a teenager named Farshid Mokhtari during the protests on December 12 in Yazdānshahr, appeared with a group of people in front of the judiciary in Najafabad and gave the judicial authorities a 24-hour deadline to release the detained teenagers and young people. In a video that was published on social media, he warned that if the detainees were not released, a protest gathering would be held in Yazdānshahr.

    🔸Axios news website reported on Thursday that the Donald Trump administration in Washington is hosting "senior defense and intelligence" officials from Israel and Saudi Arabia this week, with discussions focused on how to deal with the Islamic Republic. According to Axios, while the Israelis have gone to Washington to inform the U.S. about potential targets inside Iran, Saudi officials still believe that the path for diplomacy is open and that negotiations should still be given a chance.

    🔸The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, in an interview with CNN, once again rejected negotiations with the United States, arguing that the U.S. President "only wants to impose his will on others."

    🔸The Deputy Minister of Nursing at the Ministry of Health urged the injured from recent protests not to "be afraid" and to seek treatment at medical centers. Abbas Abadi warned on Thursday, February 9, in an interview with ILNA news agency: "If treatment is delayed, their wounds may become infected, and a problem that could be solved with simple treatment may lead to complex surgeries and unintended complications." However, he did not mention the reason for the injured's fear of going to hospitals. This comes amid multiple reports of security forces attacking hospitals, assaulting injured patients, and abducting them.

    🔸Mir Hossein Mousavi, a leader of the Green Movement, on Thursday, February 9, described the brutal and bloody crackdown on the protests of this January as "a great betrayal and crime against the people" and called for a constitutional referendum and a change of government in Iran without foreign interference. In a statement, he wrote: "How can the people express that they do not want this regime and do not believe your lies? Enough is enough. The game is over... Neither do you have a solution for any of the country's crises, nor does the nation have any choice but to protest again until a result is achieved. And you will not be able to repeat the tragedy of January 18 and 19." The former Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic reminded that "the military and law enforcement forces will sooner or later, and probably soon, no longer be willing to suppress the protesters" and added: "Put down your guns and step back from power so that the nation can lead this land to freedom and prosperity."

    🔸The HRANA news agency, based on its latest aggregated data on the thirty-second day of the protests, announced that the confirmed death toll has reached 6,373. According to the report published on Thursday, February 9, of this number, 5,993 were protesters, 113 were children under 18, 214 were government-affiliated forces, and 53 were non-protesters/civilians. HRANA also reported that the number of deceased under investigation is 17,091. According to this report, the total number of detainees from the protests has reached 42,486. The number of those severely injured is reported to be 11,018, the number of forced confessions broadcasted is 270, and the number of summoned individuals to security agencies exceeds 11,000. The human rights activists' news agency also stated that the total recorded protest events amounted to 658 in 202 cities and 31 provinces. Due to the lack of access to inside Iran because of internet shutdowns and government pressure on the families of the deceased, accurately reporting the number of fatalities is challenging. Human rights organizations predict that tens of thousands may have been killed during the violent crackdown on protesters in Iran.

    Jean-Noël Barrot, the French Foreign Minister, condemned the "unacceptable repression of the peaceful uprising of the Iranian people" in a post on his official X account, stating: "The extraordinary courage of the Iranian people in the face of blind violence cannot be in vain. Together with our European partners, we will approve sanctions against Iranian officials tomorrow in Brussels. They will be banned from entering European territory, and their assets will be frozen."
    Mr. Barrot announced that France will support placing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the list of terrorist organizations of the European Union.
    He concluded by urging the Iranian government to "immediately release prisoners, end executions, lift the digital blockade, and allow the UN Human Rights Council's fact-finding mission to investigate the crimes committed in Iran."

    With the change in position of France and Spain regarding the designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, the European Union may soon recognize this military entity of the Islamic Republic as a terrorist organization.

    The French presidency announced on Wednesday, January 28, that the country supports the inclusion of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the EU's list of terrorist organizations.

    According to news agencies, sources in the Spanish Foreign Ministry also confirmed that Spain will vote in favor of this decision in the European Union.

    This comes as Italy, which initially showed reluctance towards this action, changed its stance to support the designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization following the release of new data on the horrific dimensions of the violent suppression of street protests in Iran.

    On Tuesday, January 27, Antonio Tajani, the Italian Foreign Minister, also announced that Italy would propose placing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the EU's list of terrorist organizations at the meeting of the EU Foreign Ministers' Council in Brussels on Thursday; a position that reflects a shift in Rome's approach to one of the most controversial foreign policy issues in Europe regarding the Iranian government.

    Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, stated during a U.S. Senate hearing that Iran's future would be "uncertain and very complex" if the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic were to step down, and there are no simple answers for the next phase.

    Rubio explained that the power structure in the Islamic Republic is based on two main pillars: the Supreme Leader and the Revolutionary Guard, an institution that answers directly to the leader. He added that alongside this structure, there are so-called semi-elected officials who, although visible in the public and political arena, ultimately must align all their decisions and actions with the Supreme Leader's views.

    The U.S. Secretary of State emphasized that if this regime collapses, no one can definitively say who will take power or how the transition will unfold. According to him, the only hope is that if such a scenario occurs, there will be a possibility to move towards some form of transition from within the existing structures.

    Rubio further warned that any fundamental change in Iran would be far more complex than similar cases, as the Islamic Republic has been in power for decades. He stated that such a situation would require "very careful thinking and cautious planning" if one day this scenario becomes a reality.

    Rubio said regimes like Iran have learned that shooting protesters in the head through snipers can be effective. However, he emphasized that the regime is in its weakest position and the main issue is that the government is unable to respond to the demands of the Iranian people.
    @VahidHeadline
    He attributed the main reason for Iran's economic collapse to the regime's preference for spending the country's resources on military weapons and supporting terrorist groups instead of investing in society.
    Rubio noted that while the flames of protests may have currently subsided, due to the regime's unwillingness to change its behavior and lift sanctions, these protests will flare up again in the future. He stated: "The demands of the Iranian people are legitimate and enduring, and as long as this regime does not want to change or step down from power, there will be no way to resolve the crises."
    @VahidOOnLine
    Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, today warned during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing that the presence of 30,000 to 40,000 American forces in the region is within range of thousands of ballistic missiles and suicide drones from the Islamic Republic. Rubio emphasized that this threat is not a theoretical discussion but a "dangerous reality" that requires a decisive response.
    Rubio clarified that Donald Trump reserves the right to use the option of "preemptive defense" to protect the lives of American soldiers and the security of allies like Israel. He said: "If we have evidence of an imminent attack from Iran, we will take preemptive action to prevent harm to our personnel."
    @VahidOOnLine
    In response to a question about the U.S. State Department's estimate of the number of casualties from protests in Iran, Marco Rubio said: "Certainly in the thousands."

    The U.S. Secretary of State also discussed Washington's actions in Venezuela, including the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, the ousted president, stating: "For the first time in 20 years, serious discussions are underway about weakening and even eliminating Iran's presence, China's influence, and Russia's presence in Venezuela."
    He told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Maduro must be removed from power because Venezuela has become a base for operations by U.S. adversaries, including China, Russia, and Iran.

    🔸The President of the United States expressed hope that Iran would "come to the negotiating table" soon and negotiate a fair and just agreement, without nuclear weapons, that would benefit all parties involved.

    🔸Mr. Trump reminded that time is "running out" and "every moment is truly critical!"
