What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, everybody, and welcome to this very special live stream. We are going to be doing something the mainstream media, for some inexplicable reason, is failing to do, which is talk about events in Iran. And there's literally no one we could think of who's better to talk about this than Maya Tusi, former guest of Trigonometry, Iranian himself. He has family in the country. Maya, without wasting any more time, our time is precious here. What has been going on in Iran for the last 12 days?
What sparked the recent protests in Iran?
Yeah, well, thanks for having me, guys. Yeah, 12 days now. In case people haven't seen, because the Western global media are not really reporting any of this, there was initially a protest on the first day, which was triggered by everything that's been going on economically and everything else. But this has been boiling up and building up. The people have been waiting for an opportunity for an uprising against the Islamic Republic. something that has been good. We've seen waves every few years in Iran, but the regime have been very good at doing crackdown. And this time they have been falling apart, the regime, 12 days in a row, 12 battles. And the Iranian people have been having taken control of over 100 cities around the country.
And I think that's partly one of the reasons they've been struggling, because usually these protests or uprisings have been in one or two main cities. So they've been uprising. Obviously, it's been chaos. But It's still going on, and President Trump has been warning the regime, if you start killing many people, then of course the United States will have to intervene. So we'll have to see what's going on. And what is happening so far in terms of the brutality of the attempts to crack down? I know that we've seen some footage of people being taken to hospital. Is the regime killing people at this point? Where are we? So the official numbers from the regime themselves over the last, well, the first 11 days was about 40.
But the numbers could be higher. But at the same time, it could actually be as low as that, which could mean that they've been terrified of what President Trump has said, compared to previous crackdowns where you see hundreds getting killed in a couple of days. But people have had full control. Obviously, people are mostly unarmed. uh the the regime security forces are armed and uh but they every evidence videos that we are getting is the shows people chasing the regime security away we have had a number of defections from the police some from the irgc passage units that they filmed themselves but i think there's a lot going on internally that is paralyzing the regime behind the scenes and they have struggled and as of right now we're doing this live over the last hour the regime have officially withdrawn their security forces and the police and they have officially declared war they have brought in the IRGC military the actual military that would go to fight in other countries they are now on the ground and there are some videos that we will be showing on TUC TV later it's also on social media
very very worrying updates coming in about shootings on the ground and obviously tonight is huge because the crown prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi is the main opposition leader and people are calling his name and the return of the monarchy and everything else He said to people, come out tonight at 8 p.m. local time, which was about two, three hours ago. Everybody united and start chanting. So we had millions around the country. And if the military have started killing people, as we've seen, things are going to get very bad tonight. And everybody is now looking at President Trump. I mean, it was a really brilliant summation there, Maya, because President Trump has been hypercritical of the Iranian regime and their handling of this particular crisis.
There was also an incident with a hospital, wasn't there, which was absolutely horrific. Could you just explain to the audience watching what happened with the hospital? So it's happened three times now over the last 12 days, three different hospitals.
