Mass protests imperil Iran, Hizballah bastions in Lebanon and Iraq. Hizballah deploys special anti-demo squad
The mass anti-government protests engulfing Lebanon and Iraq are strongly infused with resentment of Iran’s influence and Hizballah dominance. Yet both held back on bloody crackdowns.
On Friday, Oct. 25, the ninth day of popular protests in Lebanon, Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah warned in a televised speech that they were putting the country at risk of “chaos, economic collapse and civil war.” This was an attempt post factum to justify his first furtive steps to confront the protesters with force. A special new squad of Hizballah officers and fighters, clad in civvies and armed with clubs, were already scuffling with demonstrators on Beirut’s central Riad al-Solh Square that night. Those heavies may be expected to turn up in the thick of rallies in other parts of Lebanon. To motivate his followers, Nasrallah went on to charge that foreign embassies in Beirut had hijacked the protest movement and the CIA was involved.
The protesters were not impressed: “The government must resign, and everything will be OK. All of them means all of them,” they insisted. They were telling Iran’s foremost proxy, Hizballah, as a powerful political player in Lebanon with a cabinet majority, that its head was also on the block.
DEBKAfile’s sources note that the road from clubs to live ammunition is short. Nasrallah is only waiting for the first shot to be fired by a demonstrator before letting his followers loose with live shots for dispersing the demonstrations.
He is following a preset plan of action which has three points:
- A first attempt will be made to break up the demonstrations by club-wielding thugs.
- Hizballah’s special forces are using mobile units to unblock the roads, fast highways and traffic intersections jammed by the protesters.
- Those forces are also positioned at Shiite-populated town neighborhoods and villages to prevent the anti-regime protest from spilling over into those communities as they have in Iraq.
The resurgence of demonstrations in Iraq on Friday plunged into greater violence that they did in Lebanon, although both are increasingly endangering the main bastions of influence Tehran and its agents have created in Middle East. Those key political and military power centers are shaking and threatening to crumble. This is partly due to the tardy awareness of Tehran and Nasrallah to the force of the street protests sweeping through Beirut and Baghdad. They only woke up when they had spun out of control.
On that same Friday, they were confronted by Iraq’s top religious authority, Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, aiming an ultimatum to Baghdad to enact economic reforms and start rooting out corruption, in obedience to the protesters demands. He spoke to the accompaniment of a fresh outbreak of exceptionally violent popular protests in Baghdad and the Shiite towns of the south.
In Baghdad, Basra and Nasiriya and other Shiite towns, hundreds of thousands of marching protesters shouted anti-Iran slogans and burned effigies of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. As well as attacking government institutions, for the first time the crowds torched the headquarters of pro-Iranian Iraqi factions and militias. In some places, those militias opened fire on the crowds. Iraq’s Bloody Friday ended with more than 40 dead and some 2,300 injured – and no end in sight.
My god
It is must acts without even doubt
mossada söyleyin iranın dini liderini ve diğer mollaları dervişleri öldürün iran halkını ayaklandırıp iran rejimini yıkın değiştirin
Next step: Saudi Arabia which desperately need reformation, viva
No, I believe the next step should be in Tehran that’s what the evil resides.
,..wooooow, from the Shia’s themselves,…… Iran has no brain capacity and capability to create a hegemony, they are day dreaming… religious ideology and rag tag militias in pickup? stupid folks, …….. sactions on turkey please,will be good to restart it there also
They already rule Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and most of Yemen.
@DracoHorribilis… Agree, that is why Poor People’s Protest, Poverty, & Deaths happening under Iran Shiia Regimes & Proxies!
We’ll see, in the near future, all those pedophile ragheads called Supreme Leader and Imams hanging on public squares at Teheran, Beirut, Basra, Aden and other places where they are abusing other religious denominations. We’ll see Iran, Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq so broken and failed as states that what is happening today in Syria is just a little bad compared with what os coming…hold your breath and wait. In the meantime let the Farsis enjoy their free ride while it last.
no rule is forever THE DEATH OF THE GREAT ROMAN EMPIRE same will be with IRAN IN 2020

Kurds have Multiple Opportunities To Rise But Too Divided!
Kurds won’t rise any time soon unless both the US & Russia guarantee their independence. Israel can help tremendously as well.
why would Israel help? Do you thing Israel does not have enough troubles of their own that they need to be policeman in the ME?

adiós… ya no intervengo más…
Sad, but this will achieve nothing in the long run. Corruption is part of Muslim DNA.
Bibi should be Muslim then
Good chance to take out the TRANNIE NUTSWALLOWER and General Salami.
Good staging , that will lead to Iranian Dictatorial regime coming out of it , with Americans and their slaves , become real slaves of the ME.
Solomeo… Last Week You Posted The Russians Will Replace America & Rule Mideast Slaves?
I think you must be confusing the great General with that ahole licking weasel Bibi ?
This is just another Mossad/CIA operation to take a legitimate grievance and use it to sow violence and strife. What else would you expect from the worshippers of ✡Moloch✡ from their ??Synagogue of Satan??..
Im sure that Mossad is on the ground helping the people to free themselves from this corruption. Also its good for Israel so i see no problem with this. A prosperous Lebanon would be focusing on trade and tourism and the people would not allow it to become a missile base.
Elizabeth, you have Syphilis of the Mouth from pleasuring too many Donkeys.
Poor donkeys
@Elizabeth… The CIA & Mossad Do Not Control These Young People Living Under Elite Puppets Theives!
Which domestic terrorist group are you affiliated with, Elizabeth?
Salman Rushdie was right that muslim pigs are worshippers of Satan in the mosque of satanic allah
He described it in the book Satanic Verses ?
They kill their own people every day for asking for bread and water
Looks like mossad and Zion are mighty, omnipresent and omnipotent to the likes of Elizabeth ,are you hypnotized, wake up.
Lebanon with Hizballah is probably number one or two on Israelis boogieman list. So if they did not orchestrate this “color revolution” I’m pretty sure that they will be involved now. This would be a proverbial gift from God so its almost inconceivable that Mossad would not be trying to take advantage of the situation. So i suggest you wake up Robert as Elizabeth is most probably right.
muslim pig ahmed and never tommy
muslim criminals killing their own people in Iraq for asking for basic rights.
this is muslim way of thinking, the same pigs that are invading europe
Tommyski, Is that what your Russian friends from Veterans Today and RT News told you to publish? Does Putin approve of your workski?
Let’s not consume our own propaganda too much. Iraqi protesters are unhappy, with good reason – their govt is very corrupt. But the average Iraqi has a much more favourable view of Iran than they do of Israel, and debka keeps glossing over these sorts of facts.
I agree that the issues are real and the endemic corruption is a cancer in these countries. But that does not discount foreign interference and the using of these real problems to further foriegn government goals.
@James… Half True, DEBKA Reveals The Truth Up To Iraqi’s To See Israel Is Not At Fault!

Now is the time for spontaneous eruptions of antigovernment protests in Iran! If they get out of hand what might the Mullahs do?

Looks Like The Shiia Message From Mohammed The Messenger Legacy In 632 CE Is Mistaken?
@ Abu Tommy
Lebanon is not a real state, it is stalemate following the Syrian occupation ended in 2005.
The people demand a democratic state, that’s all.
Something wrong here?
Are you stupid?
Nothing wrong with people regaining control over their country. My point is that these types of legitimate problems that the Lebanese people are experiencing are an opportunity for a CIA style Color Revolution that is used by the CIA to install an American Puppet Government.
So Lebanese people ending up with an American Puppet Government is my only concern here.
@Tommy… America 200 Years History does not want Puppet Governments. Iran, China, Russia & EU’s Colonialism & Centuries of Histories of Russia’s Eastern Europe, North Korea, Cuba, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, & Venezuela, China’s Vietnam & North Korea. Iran Shiia Proxies.
I’m sorry to say that you are fool sir. Puppet governments is what America has always wanted, it has killed leaders, overthrown governments, bribed and used every conceivable trick in the book to achieve this. Here is just a single example.

Will the day come when the Islamist pig that rules Turkey receives its deserved punishment?
It’s an interesting question … because in Capitol Hill they want to adjust their accounts …
The biggest stab in the back that can be given to the Islamist Turk is “DECLARING THE BIRTH” of a free, democratic and sovereign “Kurdistan” in Syria.
It would be Donald Trump’s greatest chess play …

Possible that the Shiites will attempt to provoke Israel in some way that would turn attention to Israel rather than the local governments.
NEOLIBERALISM is what has led to such economic problems that are plaguing most countries. This is a revolt by the PRECARIAT. It will spread to many different countries.
Ben, unfortunately nothing will spread. The Iranians will drown the revolutions in blood. The US will do nothing. Russia and China will certainly help Iran in order to secure the despotic rule over their own populace. The surviving demonstrators will form an underground ISIS-like movement with a tepid CIA support. Middle East needs a revised Islam for the revolutions to succeed. Some Islamic clerics residing in the West will most likely engage in these revisions.
What is needed most urgent is a second Iranian revolution a 2.0 if you will.
free the people of IRAN from the Fiendish, Nefarious Wicked and Brutal regime
that the people currently live under.
VICTORY TRUMP 2020.
