I just finished reading the book A Time To Betray by Reza Kahlili (obviously not his real name). It is the story of a man who believed that the Iranian Revolution on 1979 would bring freedom to his country. He realized he was wrong rather quickly. One of the things that added to his disillusionment was the fact that the new government was putting innocent people in prison and torturing them. One of this friends and his friend’s brother and sister were put in Evin Prison, tortured, sexually abused, and eventually killed. Reza Kahlili eventually went to work for the American CIA. His book tells his story.
On Monday, The New York Post reported:
Israel hit key Iranian targets in a fresh series of devastating airstrikes Monday, attacking the headquarters of the country’s elite military police force and blowing off the front of its most notorious, brutal prison.
The most intense bombing yet of government sites around Tehran came a day after the US joined Israel’s war on thwarting the Islamic Republic from being able to build nuclear bombs.
“The Iranian dictator will be punished with full force for attacking the Israeli home front,” Israel’s Defense Ministry said of the latest attacks.
…Shocking security footage shows one missile strike blasting open the doors of Evin Prison, where the Islamic Republic held its opponents and critics in brutal conditions, with public hangings.
The article concludes:
“The IDF is currently striking with unprecedented force regime targets and governmental repression bodies in the heart of Tehran, including the Basij headquarters, the Evin Prison for political prisoners and regime opponents, the ‘Destruction of Israel’ clock in Palestine Square, the internal security headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards, the ideology headquarters, and other regime targets,” Katz said in a statement.
Further strikes in Iran hit the access roads to the Fordow nuclear facility, one of three sites in Iran hit during US air strikes over the weekend.
The strikes were intended to “disrupt” accessibility to the underground nuclear enrichment center, the IDF claimed.
We may be about to see regime change in Iran.
