NEW DELHI: As a massive civilian uprising against the autocratic rule of Tehran embroils with spiking intensity, a leaked classified directive from the central bank of Iran warns about further escalation in the civilian unrest, coupled with massive economic collapse. This unrest will indeed be a major hiccup for the theocracy of Tehran that might trigger regime breakdown, warns the leaked document. Thus, the classified document signals preparedness for the financial emergency with the ultimate motive of shielding the Khamenei regime and consolidating the power structure.
The classified and confidential document leaked from the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran orders all major Iranian banks, vital payment networks, card transaction systems and other crucial financial institutions to immediately shift the operations to an emergency mode. The financial networks of the country have been reiterated to work from an emergency operational mode as the latest civilian unrest is anticipated to escalate further coupled with intense economic collapse. This rupture of the economy and society in Iran in all probability will pose a threat to the authoritarian rule in Tehran. Thus, to protect against and avert such an intense regime-change crisis, financial emergencies have been ordered, asserts experts.

The leaked classified directives explicitly instructs the banks across Iran to prepare for blackouts and infrastructure collapse as the nation is anticipated to witness a country-wide unrest, sabotage, shutdown scenarios culminating in regime level crisis. The banks have been asked to secure, relocate and safeguard the critical financial data. They have been ordered to activate crisis mode and operate parallel payment systems to protect the financial ecosystem of the country in the wake of a massive rupture. The leaked classified documents further warn to be prepared for system shutdowns, mass disruptions and nationwide instability. The banking systems and other financial institutions have also been ordered to utilize alternative financial survival mechanisms in case of the dismantle of the regime and if the civilian unrest and brewing economic disintegration goes beyond the control of the regime.
Analysts on the spiralling political and economic situation in Iran thus asserts that the economic collapse and regime disintegration is not a vague and least probable scenario in the country. Crisis-hit Iran is set to crash, but the only question is how early it is. Hence, the theocracy of Tehran is preparing for a worst possible situation which is nothing but a complete collapse of the socio-political and economic structure of the country. “This is financial martial law under preparation”, says the experts, to take the situation under control and shield the regime from full-fledged failure.
Iran has been engulfed in a massive civilian uprising for a week. Frustrated people have hit the streets against the autocratic rule of Khamenei regime by echoing slogans such as “Mullahs must Leave”, “Death to the Dictator” etc. What began as a protest in the bazaar streets against the soaring inflation and economic crisis, has spiralled into the hinterlands and rural provinces beyond the capital city of Tehran. Under present circumstances, one rial is equated to USD 1.4 million, thus the people of Iran are suffering from unbearable cost of living crisis, trade collapse, water shortage and the youths are suffocated due to unemployment. Apart from economic issues, the people are resisting the curtailment of women rights, liberty and other social causes that are derailed under the iron fist of theocracy in Tehran.
The protests are escalating by engulfing the entire country with no sign of descaling. The theocratic regime in Tehran is mustering for the worst as the situation is slipping beyond the control.
