On Iran protests ; how the false realities created through AI deep fake videos and imperialist narratives accepted as the objective realities.

Deep Fake videos, generated by AI, have become a significant tool in transforming false narratives into a false reality for propaganda and manipulation purposes. The collective stupidity created and cultivated by Western media for decades makes it easier to convince people of false narratives and propaganda, shaping their perspectives and beliefs about what is true or false on any given subject.

We have seen videos supposedly on the streets of Venezuela cheering the US attack, capturing, kidnapping and taken Maduro hostage. We have seen numerous videos presented as they were within Venezuela. The narrative is "US invaded Venezuela", succeeded a government change", "running the government" (even Trump declaring himself as the acting president of Ukraine) and "US oil companies control Venezuela's oil"..  Despite the fact that Venezuelan government is intact, investigations and arrests were authorized by the government, some civil and military officials have been arrested (Western Media still call it “sacked”), Venezuelan streets are patrolled with check points to arrest any confirmed American and pro-American individuals, US Government issued warning to US citizens and urged them to leave Ukraine, there is no confirmed US military boots on Venezuela, Western Media and Western “analyzers”, including some NED-Socialists continue to call it “invasion of Venezuela” and “victory of US”.

On the question of Iran the fake AI videos, false narratives and the created false reality is not so much different than that of Venezuela or any other country for that matter.

Subjectivity on the side of the “Left” opens the door for ignorance of the facts  and of considering the dialectical connections between the particular (Iran) and general (US-Israel). Hasty conclusions without knowing the facts mostly which is made based on the Western narratives and fake AI videos clearly indicate the naiveness, shortsightedness of “leftist” writers on one side, and  opportunism- liberalism on the other hand which always end up serving the interests of the enemies of peoples; imperialists  in general and their proxies in particular. To fail to establish the unbreakable dialectical link between the war preparations of US-Israel against Iran and the riots, one must either be narrow-minded or conscious of it with a platonic connection to US-Israel and hatred against Iran. 

They never consider the differing conditions and situations in different times when the protests are held. As Lenin puts it the petty bourgeois philistine mixes the different situations under different conditions in order to reach his subjective point of view.  There is a difference between war time and peacetime protests. There were protests in Iran that were timely, just, democratic, and progressive. At a time when the military attack to Iran is imminent, I personally doubt the sincere and just  intention of the organizers of protests without denying the justified and just reasons of participant masses initially. However, knowing the fact that  creating chaos in a given country they want to attack and carry out a regime change has historically been a typical tactic, I tend to believe that the high likely culprit behind the protests – if not initially- , hijacking of it carried out by their agent-provocateurs and proxies.  

I believe that the financial crash that led to the protests, directly or indirectly has been plotted by the US-Israel and  it will come out to daylight someday. Already disregarding the fact that the imperialists are the real culprits behind all the economic, social, and political situation in Iran, through their economic sanctions, is another indication of the insincerity . They are the main culprits behind the economic situations in Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea, and so are they the real culprit in Iran.

Although I believe most of the videos with Shah’s time Iran flag together with US , Israel  flags and related slogans are either AI generated or from outside of Iran, I have seen such live videos and confirmation of their originality by Iranian comrades.

What no one dares to speak about is the fact that so many objective liberal and left  independent journalists, bloggers and analyzers stated  that  in January  Kurdish regions emerged as a central front in nationwide Iranian protests, not denying that the protests initially sparked in Tehran over financial collapse. They stated that protests rapidly transformed into a broad anti-regime uprising with Kurds leading major actions. I wasn’t surprised but expected that to happen. I had stated on one of my comment that the unfortunate development is  with those "usual suspects" who live in a fantasy land with their "long live US", "long live Israel" slogans are again "playing on the wrong horse" at the expense of their own people.

According to some observers and Kurdish Media outlets, on January 8, 2026, at least 50 Kurdish cities participated in a massive general strike. Shopkeepers in provinces like Ilam, Kermanshah, and Lorestan shuttered businesses in a coordinated act of defiance. Kurdish-majority cities, particularly Malekshahi in Ilam province, became riot  hotspots. Funerals for slain protesters in these areas have repeatedly evolved into large-scale anti-government demonstrations. Armed Kurdish groups in Kermanshah announced the formation of "assault units" to resist Iranian security forces, signaling an escalation into armed self-defense in some regions.

A coalition of seven major Kurdish political parties has been instrumental in organizing and guiding regional dissent, Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (PDKI/KDPI) is historically the most prominent group, calls for a federal and democratic Iran made a supporting  call for “solidarity, unity, and synergy among all segments of society.” on December 30 . Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan is a major “leftist” group active in the current strike calls and protests (December 29, 2025) . Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK) is an armed group that has called for a united front of all Kurdish forces against the regime, warned against dividing the movement along centre-periphery lines and described the crisis as systemic, requiring democratic unity across identities and regions  on January 1. The Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) called for immediate unity among Kurdish political forces.

However, according to another independent report, despite the support calls of the major Kurdish party and organizations and spread to major Kurdish cities, large parts of Iranian Kurdistan adopted a more cautious posture, shaped by the memory of the brutal repression that followed the 1979 revolution.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s conciliatory and de-escalating statement for the protestors and chilling warning “rioters must be put in their place” seems to have played a decisive role in ceasing of violent protests.

PJAK Co-Chair  in Iran-Iraq border claimed a couple hours ago (January 12 in East Asia)  that “The Islamic Republic of Iran has already collapsed” . “Now, as the structure of the nation-state is disintegrating… it is undoubtedly an opportunity for the Kurds”. “However, if the changes move in a direction that does not lead to democracy… it is certainly a danger to the Kurds.” “We have serious doubts that it has carried out a major massacre”. “It is not clear; things will become apparent later. But the current appearance of the Islamic Republic is like a closed North Korea, and it is unknown what is happening.” ““But we also do not believe that an external force will come… to save us… We read their interests.”.. “Not that we have not had any relations (with Israel) , but the relations have not been at a level to understand what they want”. ““But we also say, if any force supports democratic change and the rights of peoples, we are open to that.”

As we can see the fantasy deriving from the Western narrative and myth still in force and some are ready to play on the wrong horse.  Most in Iran however, based on the reports, seem to be very cautious.  One fundamental reason I assume is they are on the ground and see the developments, disappearing of the violence and riots replaced by huge counter protests all over Iran focused on the Imperialist plots and imminent military attack.

Although it is early to conclude, it is safe to predict that the US-Israel plot and wishes will be down to drain one more time. The false reality on Iran is being kept alive with AI generated videos and false news of ongoing riots, even on AI . They all disregard the anti-US- Israel protests with the participation of millions in Iran these days. The call of Riza Pahlavi for a military attack, rhetoric of Trump and  Neo-cons on “saving the Iranian’s” from the “regime” reinforces to prediction that US-Israel is getting ready to attack Iran with new additional excuses.

Military attacks based on false realities bound to fail miserably in the long term even if they even have some significant but not decisive  success initially.  The false narratives of “victory” does not change the objective reality of defeat.

Calling  Mossad-CIA foot soldiers and their conscious and unconscious proxies as "people of Iran" and the riots as "revolution" has nothing to the with objective Left outlook but subjectivity in its core.
