Snip:
Iranian security forces have detained at least 200 leaders of armed groups accused of organizing mass unrest, the Tasnim news agency reported, citing law enforcement sources.
During the operations, a large quantity of weapons, ammunition, grenades, and Molotov cocktails were seized from the hiding places of the pogromists, the agency said.
The arrest of leaders of the groups that used protesters as human shields, was one of the reasons for the decline in the intensity of the unrest on January 10, Tasnim noted.



color revolution in iran foiled again?
Yep. Same tactic applied as last time. Have the security forces be passive for a few days, let the violence of the rioters turn the majority of the population against them, let the Mossad assets expose themselves, map out their terror cells and then arrest them all, destroying months if not years of infiltration efforts.
Hopefully, the Communist dissidents will have the good sense to recognise it and keep their heads down for once.
Anyone stupid enough to join in on an orchestrated imperialist assault on their own country is more of a hindrance than a help to the communist cause anyway.
Yeah, we all know that, most of them also know that, they aren’t stupid.
But it must suck to just sit down and let (Insert anti-socialist government opposed to the USA here) do what they want. Every time there’s a protest some young dumbasses must go “hey maybe this time it’ll not be a colour revolution and we’ll be in charge!” And the old comrades have to sit them down and talk them out of it
We criticise, but it’s not like we have huge ideas about effective Praxis beyond “Just be an Anti-Imperialist Popular Front! There’ll be time for the Working Class when the USA is dead”
I’d be surprised if it wasn’t color revolution.
