Leaked documents from the Iranian regime reveal a coordinated plan by its security apparatus, approved by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to violently suppress nationwide protests using force, surveillance and internet shutdowns.

Excerpts of the documents, reviewed by Fox News Digital, show that Iran’s Supreme National Security Council developed the strategy after the 2019 nationwide protests that came amid fuel price hikes and economic collapse.

At a National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) press briefing Tuesday covering the regime’s pre-planned orders behind the protests and mass killings, Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the Washington office, said the documents "were obtained from within the regime" and later cited The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) as having gained access to them.

"This Directive by the National Security Council was obtained by the network in Iran of the MEK, which has access to sources within the regime," he confirmed to Fox News Digital.

"These documents show the regime's efforts to prevent the resurgence of the uprising and, if it occurred, to suppress it," Jafarzadeh added before stating that there are "clear operational plans allocated to the IRGC to use lethal force to kill as many people as needed to stay in power."

The first document, classified "top secret," was issued Mar. 3, 2021, with the regime codifying four escalating law enforcement and security conditions. The regime defined how unrest would be handled and which authorities would be in command at each stage.

Initial law enforcement and non-armed security situations placed command authority with Iran’s national police force, with support from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Intelligence Ministry (VAJA).

In the most severe category, designated an "armed security situation," full command authority rapidly shifted to the IRGC.

"For now, this compilation should be communicated for two years," Khamenei wrote before ordering the blueprint implemented nationwide.

The secret guidelines became the blueprint for crushing the January 2026 protests, which erupted amid soaring inflation, currency collapse and anger toward clerical rule.

According to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), at least 6,854 people have been killed during the protests, with 11,280 cases under investigation.

Internal regime assessments cited in other leaked files describe three phases of the 2026 uprising: an initial law enforcement phase, followed by a non-armed security phase and finally an armed security situation beginning Jan. 8 when authority shifted fully to the IRGC that played the command role and carried out armed killings.

The documents specify that during armed security situations, the IRGC operated with support from other security bodies, while Iran’s Ministry of Communications was ordered to impose internet restrictions, including full shutdowns.

A second classified document, compiled in 2024 by the IRGC’s Sarallah Headquarters, reveals how far the regime went to prepare for dissent.

The 129-page "Comprehensive Security Plan of Tehran" details extensive surveillance and repression measures, identifying members of the opposition MEK and family members of executed dissidents as "level number one" enemies subject to monitoring and control.

"It also shows how far the regime is prepared to go to kill as many people as needed, which they did in January 2026. However, these killings further convinced the people that there is only one way to end the killings, and that is to overthrow the regime," Jafarzadeh added.

"There are more people, especially young ones, who have joined the ranks of the organized force to confront the IRGC and liberate the nation," he said.

A House Foreign Affairs Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee hearing on Tuesday underscored what lawmakers and witnesses repeatedly described as a "historic" but "narrowing" opportunity to weaken Hezbollah and restore Lebanese state sovereignty, while exposing sharp disagreement over whether current U.S. policy is moving fast or forcefully enough.

Opening the hearing, Chairman Mike Lawler, R-NY., said Lebanon is "at a crossroads" following the Nov. 2024 Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, arguing the moment offers "an unprecedented opportunity" to help Lebanon "break free of the shackles of Iran’s malign influence." He warned, however, that progress has been uneven, saying implementation of the Lebanese Armed Forces’ has been "haphazard at best."

The ranking member, Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., struck a more confrontational tone toward the administration, warning that Hezbollah is already rebuilding and that U.S. policy risks squandering the moment.

WALTZ HAILS ‘NIGHT-AND-DAY’ MIDDLE EAST SHIFT AS TRUMP’S GAZA PLAN RESHAPES REGION

"There is a historic opportunity in Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah and remove its grip on the Lebanese state," he said. "That window of opportunity, however, is narrow. Hezbollah is working hard to rebuild, rearm and to reconstitute itself."

He criticized cuts to non-security assistance and faulted comments by a Trump administration envoy who described Hezbollah as "a political party that also has a militant aspect to it," arguing such language "sent the wrong signals" at a critical moment.

David Schenker, senior fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, testified that while Hezbollah has been weakened militarily, the pace of disarmament remains slow and obstructed.

"The LAF has a presence in the south that it didn’t have prior to November 2024," Schenker said. "But they are not in control. Hezbollah still controls the region."

Schenker said the obstacle is no longer capability but political will. "At this point, the question of disarmament is not a matter of capability but of will," he told lawmakers, warning that Hezbollah continues to thrive amid corruption and a cash-based economy.

ISRAEL-HEZBOLLAH BORDER TENSIONS RISE AS TERROR GROUP REARMS, RESISTS US-BACKED CEASEFIRE

Hanin Ghaddar, senior fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said that even full weapons surrender would not dismantle Hezbollah’s power.

"Hezbollah is not sustained by weapons alone," Ghaddar said. "It survives through an economic and political ecosystem that protects cash flows, penetrates state institutions and enables military rebuilding."

She warned that Lebanon’s unregulated cash economy has become Hezbollah’s most durable asset. "Weapons can be collected, but money keeps flowing," Ghaddar said. "Disarmament without dismantling the cash economy… will not be durable."

TRUMP ADMIN PRESSURES LEBANON TO DISARM HEZBOLLAH AS ENVOY CALLS NATION ‘FAILED STATE’

All three witnesses emphasized U.S. support should be tied to measurable performance such as progress on disarmament of Hezbollah and economic reform.

Schenker called for renewed sanctions against corrupt Lebanese officials, saying, "We should be sanctioning leaders right now… who are obstructing reform."

Dana Stroul, director of research and senior fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, warned that Washington’s approach remains incomplete.

"For the past year, U.S. policy has focused on Hezbollah disarmament, which is critical, but on its own is only a partial strategy," Stroul said.

She cautioned that upcoming parliamentary elections could either "strengthen or undermine the anti-Hezbollah government," calling it the "worst-case outcome" if Hezbollah-aligned politicians retain power.

Ghaddar said Hezbollah’s weakening has shifted Lebanese public discourse. "The mythology of resistance has shattered," she said. "Peace is no longer taboo."

She argued that normalization with Israel would raise the political cost of Hezbollah’s rearmament and help lock in reform. "Without a credible peace horizon, disarmament and economic reform will be temporary. With one, they become structural," Ghaddar said.

The modern American left has an ugly habit of reaching for the biggest historical trauma it can find when it wants to shut down a debate.

Slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, fascism — nothing is too grave or too blood-soaked to be repurposed as a rhetorical club.

This isn’t just asinine and lazy. It’s fundamentally corrosive to the republic.

Like, for instance, when leftist lawmakers treat colorblind, baseline election rules as moral equivalents of racial terror, they’re cheapening history and poisoning public trust. Worse, they teach voters that words like “oppression” and “racism” are just props in a hackneyed, partisan script, not descriptions of real and specific evils.

And yet the tactic persists, which tells you everything you need to know about the incentives at work. Outrage travels faster than argument, and historical guilt is easier to weaponize than facts.

That brings us to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who recently decided that the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act belongs in the same moral category as Jim Crow. Seriously.

The SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow style restrictions on voting. It will be dead on arrival in the Senate.

My statement: pic.twitter.com/OAJRsmgkWn

— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) February 2, 2026

“The SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow style restrictions on voting,” Schumer posted to X on Monday. “It will be dead on arrival in the Senate.”

(Of note, the SAVE Act has become a sticking point in a congressional spending bill that aims to end the ongoing partial-government shutdown.)

“I have said it before and I’ll say it again, the SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow type laws to the entire country and is dead on arrival in the Senate,” Schumer said. “It is a poison pill that will kill any legislation it is attached to.”

He added, “Let’s be clear, the SAVE Act is not about securing our elections. It is about suppressing voters. The SAVE Act seeks to disenfranchise millions of American citizens, seize control of our election, and fan the flames of election skepticism and denialism.”

Let this writer pick apart that last line, bit-by-forsaken-bit.

This “is about suppressing voters”? Oh, really, Chuckie? This might actually be one of the oldest tricks in the Democratic playbook.

The SAVE Act’s stated purpose is straightforward: require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. You can argue about implementation, edge cases, or administrative burden — but leaping straight to “voter suppression” skips the actual policy question and replaces it with a moral accusation. That’s not an argument for or against anything. That’s just branding.

The SAVE Act will “disenfranchise millions” of American voters? Notice how much work “millions” is doing in this audacious claim. How many citizens currently lack any form of acceptable proof? How many couldn’t obtain it? Schumer doesn’t say, because the number is likely far smaller — and because once you start talking specifics, the apocalypse narrative collapses rather tidily.

The “seize control of our election” bunk hardly deserves a response, but I’ll give it a stab anyhow. From whom, exactly, is control being seized? States already run elections under a thick web of federal law. Requiring proof of citizenship for federal voting doesn’t “seize control” so much as it sets a baseline eligibility check — like when someone wants to gamble or purchase alcohol.

As far as fanning “the flames of election skepticism and denialism,” that’s awful rich coming from the party that can’t seem to handle any single Stacey Abrams electoral loss with grace (or without an excuse), and a party that had no issue calling President Donald Trump “illegitimate” after he trounced then-Democratic ringleader Hillary Clinton in the 2016 general election.

But it’s not just this astute writer noticing how abysmal Schumer’s rhetoric is. Social media basically had a field day at Schumer’s well-deserved expense.

“The SAVE Act requires proof of American citizenship to vote in our elections,” fired back Ohio State GOP Rep. Josh Williams on X. “To even suggest that segregation is even remotely in the same category is an insult to our intelligence. But we’re aware that the Democratic Party is desperate to allow illegal aliens to vote.”

Another X user pointed out the obvious fallacy with what Schumer was peddling: “Calling election integrity ‘Jim Crow’ is historical malpractice. Requiring proof of citizenship to vote is not segregation. It does not target race. It applies universally.”

What’s being inverted here is historical reality.

Jim Crow was not a Republican project.
Jim Crow was conceived, enacted, enforced, and defended for decades by Democrat-controlled state governments, particularly in the South.

The architects of segregation…
The authors of poll…

— A Gene Robinson (@AlBuffalo2nite) February 2, 2026

Another X user also responded to Schumer, this time noting the racist overtones of the New York lawmaker’s messaging:

Why is voter ID an issue for minorities? Why are you people so racist?

— Savvy ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) (@MadamSavvy) February 2, 2026

“Why is voter ID an issue for minorities?” the X user wrote in response to Schumer. “Why are you people so racist?”

At some point, the question stops being why basic election safeguards are controversial and starts being why certain politicians insist on framing minority voters as uniquely incapable of meeting ordinary civic standards. When critics ask, “Why is voter ID an issue for minorities… Why are you people so racist?” they’re not being glib (or just being glib).

That exact line of thought exposes the quiet, ugly assumption underneath Schumer’s entire line of attack. The claim that minorities can’t obtain identification, can’t navigate basic bureaucracy, or can’t meet the same requirements everyone else does is little more than condescension dressed up as moral concern.

Schumer’s rhetoric depends on that condescension, even as it pretends to fight it.

By treating straightforward eligibility checks as a form of racial harm, he’s not defending civil rights — he’s lowering standards around those rights and laundering them through the language of justice. If the only way to oppose the SAVE Act is to imply that millions of minority citizens are uniquely helpless, then the problem isn’t the law.

It’s the argument — and the profoundly cynical view of the people it claims to protect.

Dr. Kelly Victory did everything right.

She exercised, ate clean, avoided processed foods, and followed the rules we’re told protect our health.

In July 2023, she went in for a routine mammogram with no symptoms and no concern — and walked out with a life-changing diagnosis.

She had breast cancer and the tumor was aggressive.

She had a strong family history of breast cancer but no symptoms. Although asymptomatic, her mammogram revealed a mass. Her doctor recommended a follow-up in six months. Instead, taking a proactive approach, Dr. Victory consulted with a surgeon just four days later and had the mass removed immediately.

The tumor turned out to be aggressive. Waiting could have let it spread. Thankfully, her lymph nodes tested negative—no spread. She underwent 25 rounds of radiation and now screens every six months.

As of now, the cancer has not returned.

That moment revealed a hard truth: even healthy people get cancer.

Every day, our bodies are under siege from stress, toxins, inflammation, and factors that weaken our immune system. They wear us down year after year until something gives.

A NEED TO FOCUS ON PREVENTION

That slow, unseen buildup is what made Dr. Victory pause after her cancer scare. Even with modern medicine, much of cancer care is still reactive rather than proactive.

It changed how she thought about health — not as something you react to, but something you tend to every day.

She became more intentional about supporting her body. Prioritizing immune balance, managing stress, spending time outdoors, refining her nutrition, experimenting with fasting, and being more thoughtful about supplementation.

However, she still felt a gap. There wasn’t a simple, daily option designed to support the body at a foundational, cellular level — something that fit into real life, before anything goes wrong.

So, that question became the spark.

And ultimately, it’s why she helped create a new two-part, plant-powered formula intentionally designed to support immune function, antioxidant defense, and cellular health – systems commonly addressed in cancers.

That new formula is called SHIELD.

A REVOLUTIONARY SUPPLEMENT

By focusing on immune resilience, antioxidant protection, inflammatory balance, and detoxification pathways, SHIELD supports the systems your body relies on to defend, adapt, and recover. 

The first part is a rich antioxidant cocoa beverage loaded with ingredients that have been studied in integrative oncology and immune-supportive research.

• Turkey tail and reishi mushrooms are used in integrative settings to support healthy immune function and supportive use alongside cancer care.

• Ashwagandha helps regulate stress responses that can quietly undermine immune resilience.

• Turmeric and green tea leaf provide powerful antioxidant support and help maintain balanced inflammatory pathways.

The second part is a targeted botanical softgel designed to reinforce cellular-level support.

• Olive leaf extract, garlic, and oregano oil promote a healthy immune response and cellular protection.

• Berberine supports key metabolic and detoxification pathways involved in cellular resilience.

• Black cumin seed oil delivers researched antioxidant support tied to cellular integrity.

According to Dr. Victory, our immune system is absolutely critical to defending against cancer,

“The immune system is the first line of defense against cancer. Everyone has abnormal cells in their body, and it’s the immune systems job to recognize those cells as abnormal and eliminate them before they take hold and become established as a cancer. Keeping your immune system functioning at peak capacity is one of the most effective ways to prevent cancer in the first place or to keep it from returning following treatment.”

Designed to be used daily and thoughtfully alongside a healthy lifestyle and medical care, SHIELD gives you meaningful nutritional support whether your focus is prevention, recovery, or long-term resilience.

Every case is unique, but a strong immune system gives you the best shot at beating cancer and living well – so why wouldn’t you do everything you could to make sure your body’s natural defenses are firing on all cylinders?

Department of War – Press Release, February 3rd, 2026

When Secretary of War Pete Hegseth took office a year ago, matching new technologies to threats was one of his core priorities. He commissioned an acquisition strategy to swiftly outfit our combat units with lethal drones.

The War Department today announced the 25 vendors invited to compete in Phase I of the Drone Dominance Program (DDP), an acquisition reform effort designed to rapidly field low-cost, unmanned, one-way attack drones at scale as part of strengthening America’s Arsenal of Freedom.

“Drone dominance is a process race as much as a technological race,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth wrote in his July 2025 memorandum, Unleashing U.S. Military Drone Dominance. “We are buying what works—fast, at scale, and without bureaucratic delay. Lethality will not be hindered by self-imposed restrictions.”

The Phase I evaluation—the Gauntlet—will begin 18 February at Fort Benning, where military operators will fly and evaluate vendor systems. The Gauntlet will conclude in early March, when approximately $150 million in prototype delivery orders will be placed, with deliveries beginning shortly thereafter and continuing over the following five months.

Drone Dominance operationalizes the Secretary of War’s acquisition reform priorities by sending a clear demand signal to industry—$1.1 billion over four phases, placing warfighters at the center of evaluation, and driving competitive, iterative cycles measured in months, not years. Across the program’s four phases, unit prices decrease, production volumes increase, and operational capability rises.

By 2027, the Department will be fielding hundreds of thousands of weaponized, one-way attack drones ready for combat.

The Drone Dominance Program is sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of War and executed by the Defense Innovation Unit, the Test Resource Management Center, and Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division.

The funding is ready and steady. The timeline to build combat power is compressed. The competition begins now.

The Department has invited 25 companies to Gauntlet I, listed below alphabetically.

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) on Tuesday said Americans would be justified in shooting masked ICE agents.

“What is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets,” Nadler said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.

“The attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped,” Nadler said.

“You’d be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself,” Nadler added.

Nadler referenced the fatal shooting of Renee Good, the anti-ICE agitator who tried to run over an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

DHS agents also fatally shot Alex Pretti, an armed anti-ICE agitator who impeded an immigration operation and resisted arrest.

“We see people being shot! For what? For driving a car?” Nadler said.

“We see these ICE goons breaking into people’s homes without a warrant. You see them drag out a man – an American citizen in his underwear in the snow without even permitting him to get dressed!” Nadler said.

WATCH:

ICE agents face an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and their family members, the DHS said.

Calls for violence against ICE agents coming from Democrats like Jerry Nadler are contributing to the shootouts and car ramming incidents.

“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a threatening voicemail left for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minnesota on January 24,” the DHS said.

“Our law enforcement officers are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them while they put their lives on the line to remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists from American neighborhoods,” the DHS said.

Authorities said there are signs of forced entry and blood was found inside the Pima County home.

On Tuesday, police said during a press conference that they have not ruled out a ransom.

“We’re following all leads we have,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said on Tuesday.

“We are sharing all of our leads with the FBI,” he added.

Later Tuesday, TMZ received a ransom not demanding a “substantial” amount of Bitcoin in exchange for the release of Guthrie.

TMZ said the ransom note revealed details about the crime scene.

TMZ reported:

Another scary twist in the disappearance of “TODAY” host Savannah Guthrie’s kidnapped mother … TMZ has received an alleged ransom note demanding payment for the release of Nancy Guthrie.

The note, which was sent to us Tuesday morning, demands a specific substantial amount of Bitcoin … the amount is in the millions, and the note demands the cryptocurrency be sent to a specific Bitcoin address.

TMZ has verified the Bitcoin address is real.

There is a deadline connected to the alleged ransom … and an element of “or else.”

In the moment on our live stream above, Harvey and Charles said she was wearing an item mentioned in the note. In fact, the note says she was not wearing it.

The House of Representatives has voted 217-214 to partially fund the government and end the partial shutdown. 

The bill now heads to Trump’s desk, and he is expected to sign it today.

21 Republicans voted against the bill, including Andy Biggs of Arizona, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Eric Burlison of Missouri, Kat Cammack of Florida, Eli Crane of Arizona, Byron Donalds of Florida, Randy Fine of Florida, Brandon Gill of Texas, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Cory Mills of Florida, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Chip Roy of Texas, David Schweikert of Arizona, Keith Self of Texas, Victoria Spartz of Indiana, Greg Steube of Florida, and William Timmons of South Carolina.

21 Democrats also voted in favor.

The bill only funds the Department of Homeland Security until February 13.

Democrats are demanding reforms to ICE including unmasking agents, forcing them to wear body cameras during immigration, and forcing them to obtain warrants from a judge as opposed to administrative warrants against criminal illegal aliens.

On Monday, Kristi Noem announced that the Trump Administration has already partially caved to Democrats’ demands, forcing ICE agents in Minneapolis to immediately wear body-worn cameras, and body cameras will be worn by DHS law enforcement across the country once funding is available. Hopefully, this will show what kind of circumstances ICE agents face when anti-ICE radicals attack them, but it will surely bring more scrutiny to our brave American heroes as they attempt to remove violent criminals from the country.

I just spoke with @RealTomHoman @ICEDirector @CBPCommissioner. Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis.

As funding is available, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide. We will rapidly acquire and deploy body…

— Secretary Kristi Noem (@Sec_Noem) February 2, 2026

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he plans to negotiate with Democrats to have the Department of Homeland Security funded before funding lapses.

Per CBS:

Johnson told reporters that any attempt by Democrats to hold up long-term funding for DHS over objections to immigration enforcement would be futile, because ICE and CBP received an influx of money in last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. He said the agencies that would be affected carry out important services like disaster aid and airport security.

“So they have enough funding to go for the next few years,” he said of immigration agencies. “So what they will be tying up, if the Democrats choose to close the government, is these very essential services for everything else – FEMA, Coast Guard, TSA and other aspects of national security.”

The legislation passed last year included $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP, well beyond their annual allotments.

“This is no time to play games with that funding,” Johnson said. “We hope that they will operate in good faith over the next 10 days.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump on Monday called for Republicans to pass the Senate-passed funding deal without any changes.

“There can be NO CHANGES at this time. We will work together in good faith to address the issues that have been raised, but we cannot have another long, pointless, and destructive Shutdown that will hurt our Country so badly — One that will not benefit Republicans or Democrats. I hope everyone will vote, YES!” Trump said.
