2023 Iranian Coup

On January 1, 2023, a violent coup d'État against the Iranian government was launched, courtesy of the Iranian terrorist organization known as Fajr Jadid. The coup was considered the culmination of months of civil unrest in the nation of Iran. In mid-Spring of 2023, a friend of the deposed Iranian Supreme Leader leaked evidence of American involvement in the coup. 
== Background ==
Around September-October of 2021, a secularist insurgency known as Fajr Jadid (English: New Dawn) began conducting increasingly violent attacks against the Iranian theocratic government, in addition to threatening the Supreme Leader of Iran and the Iranian President. 
The Iranian government responded in mid-October of 2022 with a series of violent crackdowns, leading to mass arrests of Fajr Jadid supporters and members nationwide. Things culminated with the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested for not wearing the hijab in accordance with the government standards, and then died in a Tehran hospital under mysterious circumstances. 
After eyewitness accounts and leaks emerged claiming that Amini was a victim of police brutality (an assertion the Iranian government denied), a series of protests and civil unrest against the Iranian government began, beginning on September 16, 2022, and continuing into November of 2022. Within hours of Amini’s death, protests began at the hospital and quickly spread across the nation, from Amini’s hometown of Saqqez, Iran, to other cities in Kurdistan, Sanadaj, Divandarreh, Baneh and Bijar.
The Iranian government retaliated by shutting down the Internet and implemented both heavy restrictions on social media and an internet blackout. 
Taking advantage of the situation, the secularist insurgency Al-Nizam Al-Jadid called for support nationwide for its mission to “destroy the corrupt cancer infecting Iran known as Islam.”
Using connections to the black market, various organized crime syndicates, and other terrorist organizations across the globe, Fajr Jadid began quietly amassing thousands of anti-government militia fighters within Iran’s various abandoned archaeological sites nationwide with the overall intention of launching a violent coup against the government, using the protests and riots as a smokescreen.
== The Coup: Fall of the Iranian Theocracy ==
After an anonymous tip to the Iranian government concerning the conspiracy against them by Fajr Jadid (which the government assumed were more radical participants of the protests and riots), the Iranian military created Unit 700, a special ops military police unit to hunt down and either apprehend or assassinate anyone suspected of aiding Fajr Jadid, and authorized “Operation Eastern Fire”, a nationwide manhunt targeting Fajr Jadid members nationwide.
However, the operation was quickly compromised on January 6, 2023, after a devastating earthquake struck the Iran-Iraq region, destroying various cities in both Iran and Iraq, including the capital city of Tehran.
Taking advantage of the chaos, surviving Al-Nizam Al-Jadid sleeper agents within the capital city and their supporters in neighboring areas rallied together and launched a coup d’état against the Iranian government, putting Iran in control of Al-Nizam Al-Jadid. According to various sources, Al-Nizam Al-Jadid received aid in the coup against the Iranian government from various criminal syndicates, including, but not limited to, the Turkish Mafia, elements of the Russian Mafia, and even the Sicilian Mafia, as well as right-wing syndicates like the US-based Jörmungandr.
The coup d’état culminated with the very public execution of the Supreme Leader of Iran and the President of Iran, who was publicly gunned down while announcing a state of emergency by Fajr Jadid assassins personally led by brothers Allaudin and Abdul Karim Jamil.
With Fajr Jadid effectively taking control of nation of Iran, a violent purge ensued; people were subjected to arrest and/or execution on the slightest suspicion of being supportive of the former theocratic regime, or just for being Muslim!
The coup sparked global condemnation and outrage from the international community, with the United Nations responding by immediately labeling Iran a “rogue state”.
