On January 1, 2023, a violent *coup d'État* against the Iranian government was launched, courtesy of the Iranian terrorist organization known as Al-nizam Al-jadid. The coup was considered the culmination of months of civil unrest in the nation of Iran.

## Background

Around September-October of 2021, a secularist insurgency known as Al-Nizam Al-Jadid (English: The New Order) 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 Al-Nizam Al-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, Al-Nizam Al-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 Al-Nizam Al-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 Al-Nizam Al-Jadid, and authorized “Operation Eastern Fire”, a nationwide manhunt targeting Al-Nizam Al-Jadid members nationwide.

However, the operation was quickly compromised on January 1, 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 unconfirmed 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.

The coup d’état culminated with the televised execution of the Supreme Leader of Iran and the President of Iran, along with their entire families, by Al-Nizam Al-Jadid leaders Allaudin Jamil his brother Abdul Karim Jamil which was live streamed in front of the entire world. With Al-Nizam Al-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”.
