IRGC threatens repeat of deadly January crackdown

Mar 13, 2026, 05:22 GMT+0

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) intelligence organization warned on Thursday that opponents could face “a blow even stronger than January 8,” effectively acknowledging the violent suppression of the January protests and threatening harsher action if street unrest returns.

"Those we call the ‘Neo-ISIS elements’ should know that a blow even harsher than that of January 8 awaits them,” reads the statement.
