Iran Update - 01/19/26

There don't seem to be many changes in the situation in Iran. Currently, the protests may have quieted down a bit inside the country, probably due to exhaustion. I truly hope it's not people giving up since help hasn't arrived.

Information is still very difficult to come by, given the blackout of all communication over the past several days, and the smallest easing up now.

Reports still seem to indicate the US is sending military support to the region, restocking armaments, etc.

On the positive side, yesterday, around the world, there were many rallies in support of Reza Pahlavi and the protestors demanding an end to the Islamic regime. Toronto, it seems, had over 100,000 people gather.

As well, there was concern that the Islamic Republic's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, should absolutely not be attending the World Economic Forum given the horrific violence the regime is inflicting on its own people.

Indeed, the WEF has disinvited him. In and of itself, this seems very minor and unimportant, but it is a sign of the world slowly coming together in support of freedom in Iran.

We wait and hope and pray.
