The World Turned Away as Tens of Thousands of Persians Were Massacred for Wanting Religious Freedom and the Right to Return to Their Roots February 2026 The Uprising In the final days of December 2025, something unprecedented happened. The Persian nation—not the "Islamic Republic of Iran," but Persia —rose as one. What began with shopkeepers closing their stalls in Tehran's Grand Bazaar became the largest uprising since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Within days, it had spread to every province, every city, every village. By January 8th and 9th, 2026, the regime responded with the largest massacre in modern Iranian history. Tens of thousands of Persians were gunned down in the streets. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps deployed snipers on rooftops. They used AK-47s, Uzis, and—according to multiple reports—chemical weapons. They fired into crowds of unarmed protesters.
