Iran Ships Gold Abroad, Regime on the Brink of Collapse
[People News] Amid intense international scrutiny and pressure, the death sentence for 26-year-old Iranian protester Alvan Sultani, who was sentenced for participating in nationwide demonstrations, was finally postponed last week just before his execution. Media reports indicate that thousands to tens of thousands of Iranian protesters have been slaughtered during the crackdown, with many more arrested and detained.
In this context, can the detained Sultanis feel secure about their lives? Clearly, they cannot. Why is that? Because Iran's suppression and slaughter of protesters closely resemble the tactics used by the CCP, with the influence of the CCP evident in various aspects, including the methods of arrest employed by the military and police, as well as propaganda deception. This is reflected in:
1. Engaging in 'negotiations' with the United States to discuss solutions before and during the suppression. This is a delaying tactic, aimed at postponing the deployment and actions of the crackdown, delaying the transfer of funds, and allowing figures like Khamenei to escape to safe zones...
2. Blocking all information during the suppression. Cutting off internet access and signals, and directly deploying the military to fire upon unarmed civilians in black box cages.
3. Using citizens as hostages. Employing kidnapping, extreme punishment, or probation to extract concessions from the United States. The CCP has a history of arresting dissidents, releasing them, and then re-arresting them, each time for backdoor negotiations with Western countries. Iran's methods feel strikingly familiar.
4. The regime captures the so-called key figures and seeks to divide the protest groups. They label the protesting citizens as terrorists, claiming that soldiers firing their weapons are merely engaging in combat with them, thus providing a facade of legitimacy for their suppression. This mirrors how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) referred to the students of '89 as counter-revolutionary rioters and the anti-extradition protesters in Hong Kong as mobs. From the killing of landlords, capitalists, and intellectuals to the suppression of Falun Gong practitioners, the CCP has consistently framed these actions as battles between unarmed civilians and the state. The current Iranian regime has adopted this strategy effectively.
5. The regime employs sudden gestures of peace to mitigate international condemnation and distract global attention, such as halting massacres and suspending the death penalty.
6. They attribute civilian casualties to foreign reactionary forces. Khamenei tweeted that these civilian deaths are the responsibility of the United States and Israel.
Once the international community loses interest, the decision to allow those protesters to die rests entirely with the dictator. When the situation is deemed controllable and the world has moved on, the choice to settle scores later and arrest a large number of demonstrators is also at the dictator's discretion. The CCP typically arrests individuals on charges such as theft, prostitution, fighting, creating disturbances, or drug use, and during their detention, they may die from drinking contaminated water, taking showers, using the toilet, falling, succumbing to illness, or even suicide...
A notable example is Li Qiaoming, who was only 24 years old in 2009. He was detained in the Yunnan Jinning Detention Centre and died mysteriously after 11 days in custody. The official narrative claimed he died while playing hide-and-seek with a cellmate and accidentally hit the wall. How did he really die? To this day, who still cares?
It can be said that in a dictatorial regime, for an evil government, the lives of those citizens striving for freedom are worth less than those of ants.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is a strong supporter of Ali Khamenei's regime. From statements made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to news articles and comments from party officials, there has been a consistent denunciation of the malicious rioters and the unrest, as well as condemnation of foreign interference in domestic affairs, all while expressing hopes for the stability of the regime. This situation evokes a sense of shared sorrow, as if a disaster has struck them directly. Consequently, amid the crisis of potential regime change in Iran, it is likely that the CCP will discreetly share its experiences in suppression, power retention, and international manipulation.
At present, Iran is referred to as the Islamic Republic by U.S. officials and the exiled Iranian crown prince. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott P. Bensent remarked that the Islamic Republic "wastes the country's remaining oil revenues on nuclear weapons development, missiles, and terrorism proxies worldwide." In this respect, it aligns with the CCP, although the terrorism supported by the CCP is more extensive, deeper, and has allies across the globe.
What accounts for the numerous similarities between Iran and the CCP? Whether it is the CCP imparting its experiences in secret or Iran actively learning, how have they become so adept and sophisticated? In reality, there is little need for extensive secret teaching or learning; on certain ideological levels, these two regimes resonate with each other because they both embody a theocratic dictatorship. The current Islamic regime in Iran differs from Islam practised elsewhere. Ancient European philosophers have noted that a regime where religion and state are intertwined is bound to be a cult-like rule. As reported by the media, an Iranian living abroad stated that the reason Iran has descended to its current state is the disastrous outcome of the fusion of extreme Islamism and Marxism.
Senior political commentator Tang Jingyuan remarked, "Following Khomeini's initiation of the fourth revolution, there has been a stringent crackdown on speech and thought within the country, pulling Iran into a national model dominated by extreme ideology and terrorism. Today's Iran shares many similarities with the social crisis faced by the Chinese Communist Party; both are grappling with severe economic crises that have sparked significant social unrest."
The exiled last crown prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, urged the military to protect the citizens: "You are the army of the Iranian nation, not the armed forces of the Islamic Republic..."
A global drama of totalitarian collapse is unfolding, sweeping from Venezuela in the Western Hemisphere towards the East in early 2026; it may carry an uncontrollable fury, sweeping across the world.
