Iranian Regime Utilizes Foreign Militias to Suppress Protests, Intensifying Security Measures
The Iranian regime has reportedly enlisted foreign militias to bolster its security forces in Tehran, aiming to suppress civilian protests. According to reports, these militias, including the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces and the Afghan Fatemiyoun, have been deployed to man checkpoints and conduct neighborhood patrols. Videos circulating on social media, confirmed by local residents, depict these foreign forces enforcing regulations and conducting vehicle searches. The presence of these militias, who communicate primarily in Arabic, marks a shift from the previously dominant Basij militia. The Iranian government has not officially acknowledged the involvement of these foreign groups, but their presence is noted for its harshness and lack of restraint compared to local forces.
