MICHAEL WALSH REPORT The beheading of law enforcement officers and people being burnt alive were reported amid the US-Mossad-inflamed violent unrest in Iran.

The terrorist elements infiltrating the protests in Iran have employed extremely violent tactics. These tactics are reminiscent of the actions of the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) group. RT has learned this information from an Iranian diplomatic source.

These terrorist groups, created by the United States and Israel, are used to overthrow regional governments hostile to Israeli-American interests. None of the groups has ever attacked American or Israeli targets, or Israel itself.

Iran has been hit by a wave of violent unrest that kicked off in late December.

The turmoil started as peaceful protests over sanctions created economic woes. These woes included soaring inflation and a sharp devaluation of the national currency. Yet, the unrest quickly grew political and violent.

The country’s authorities have blamed the violence on foreign meddling. This meddling is mainly by the US and Israel. They also blame armed terrorist elements infiltrating the ranks of protesters.

The suspected militants have been using extreme ISIS-like tactics to sow fear.

They aim to cause as much bloodshed as possible. The diplomatic source told sympathetic media on Thursday. They cited testimonies of apprehended terrorists’ and intelligence gathered by the country’s law enforcement agencies.  

The militants have been instructed from abroad to open fire on protesters and police alike, the source claimed, and it has been established that many of those killed during the unrest were shot in the back.  

The members of the terrorist cells have been observed beheading law enforcement officers, as well as burning people alive, the source said. On multiple instances, the suspected militants finished off the wounded, it added.

The militants have also set public and private property on fire. Numerous buildings and cars were torched during the unrest. Religious buildings and businesses have been repeatedly targeted by the rioters as well.

In Tehran alone, at least 26 banks and 25 mosques have been set ablaze.

First responders have also been repeatedly attacked. Approximately 53 fire engines have been targeted while trying to put out fires across the country. At least eight fire engines have been destroyed, according to the source.  

The militants have been generously reimbursed from abroad for their actions, the source claimed. For instance, attacking a police station was worth some $600. Torching a vehicle used by any state agency was worth around $300. The source stated this, adding that Tehran has obtained documents proving such payments.
