    Iran Protests 2026: Massacre Reports, Blackout & Looming Military Threat

    Thirty days into nationwide protests, Iran has entered its third week of a near-total internet blackout. With independent verification impossible, the true scale of the regime’s crackdown remains unclear, as reports point to mass shootings, executions, and falsified hospital records. In this episode of Off the Record, we break down the latest developments inside Iran, rising tensions with the U.S., and new reporting that Washington is compiling evidence against regime figures involved in the violence. We also examine the role of the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij, and what international action could mean going forward. We’re joined by Travis Hawley, former U.S. Air Force intelligence analyst, to help unpack what may come next as uncertainty continues to grow. They explore the pressing issues shaping Israel, the United States, and their bilateral relationship, including the rise of woke political voices on both the right and left, the dynamics of military aid dependence, and what a secure future might look like for the two democracies as they work to safeguard Western ideals.
