THREAD

1)

This thread focuses on #Iran’s PSYOPS (Psychological Operations) utilised by the regime dictator to control #IranRevoIution.

Bear with me. This may be long.

2)
First, let us look at the PSYOPS used by #Iran's regime to control and slow down #IranRevolution2022 comprises different methods and strategies used in different scenarios in different periods.

3)
Let us give an example according to "Priority Number 6." (Sacrificing own agent), which indicates that promoting the sacrificed agent was a famous and vital person from the regime's body.

According to the exposed letter, the target is one of the regime's top commanders, who will be sacrificed with Khamenei's order if needed.
To slow down the #IranRevolution, they may decide to announce the death of Khamenei.

5)
But as we expect from any great revolution, the PSYOPS is not limited to brutal regime acts. After some time, things change...
#Iran police in an urgent letter warns #IranProtests may affect the suppressor forces psychologically, which means their PSYOPS didn't work well!

6)
Since the @UNHumanRights Council will gather evidence of the regime’s human rights violations, the #Iran government changed its strategy, which includes publishing women pictures without hijab in newsletters.
But why?

SHORT ANSWER: to make fake pieces of evidence for the Fact-finding committee!
There are numerous cases like this in which fact-finding communities must be familiar with the dictators' strategies.

The true nature of the Islamic Republic of #Iran has rightly been said by Sir @OfficialToomaj:
#MahsaAmini
#IranRevoIution2022

9)
As I said, the dictator regimes, be it the Islamic republic of #Iran, or #China, or #Russia control the protests according to the table below, including three shades of propaganda: white propaganda, grey propaganda, and black propaganda.

10)
Since Ali Khamenei's regime strives to survive from overthrow, sees #IranRevoIution and nationwide uprisings as an actual battlefield—using psychological warfare to obtain confessions, information, surrender, or defection by breaking the morale of #IranProtests!
#MahsaAmini

11)
No 1: Circulating notices, threatening or encouraging demonstrators to surrender and not to join a rally anymore.

No 2: The visual “shock and awe” of a massive attack employing vast numbers of troops or technologically advanced weapons (as seen in western parts of #Iran)
The threads below shed light:

No 3: Threatening with propaganda such as:
1. #Iran's cities will be separated (referring to Kurds and Baluch people, which is inaccurate);
2. ISIS will attack you if we overthrow (Like the ShahCheragh terrorism attack plan executed by the Islamic Republic), etc.
#MahsaAmini

14)
No 4: websites, TV programmes, social media accounts and influencers were created to broadcast propaganda and distract the protesters and @UN organisations which support the nationwide uprising

15)
No 5: “False flag” events: attacks or operations designed to convince #IranProtests that they were carried out by other nations or groups of people (which has been done lately and said it was ISIS; or it is bombing Iraq district to convince that they are fighting the enemy)

16)
In all cases [mentioned and unmentioned], the objective of battlefield psychological warfare is to destroy the #IranProtests' morale, leading them to surrender or defect.

17)
Another weapon of the Islamic Republic is going to use is:
1. Reformists (Such as Khatami, Taj Zadeh, etc)
2. #IranLobby (the famous one is NIAC.)

18)
When we say Iran intelligence forces or #IranLobby it doesn't mean you look for the ones who are like Qasem Soleimani or are labelled as lobbyists, they can be ordinary or famous reporters or journalists!
The video below will shed a light on this:

Note additionnelle:
Please have a look at this thread on how security forces shoot directly at people in #Iran, and let them not fool you by doing some good, as it is part of their strategy.
