While the Zionist regime has accepted responsibility for arming rioters and hostile elements to create a street war, the Zionist regime-affiliated media and the Mossad intelligence agency report in parallel that more than 12,000 individuals were killed in the recent incidents. The statistic carries a number of implicit messages.
Thran – IranView24
The manufactured killing project should be framed as a multi-stage operation in hybrid warfare, an operation that begins with narrative pre-emption, and forces official institutions into defensive reactions through the process of chaining the events.
Since nearly three months before the tragic events of January (Day) 2026, IranView24 has reviewed the enemy’s scenarios for Iran’s streets in a series of articles.
The ‘manufactured killing’ scenario or project as one of the constant components of the hybrid warfare against Islamic Republic of Iran has a long precedent, and a nature that goes beyond an occasional media operation. This project should be analyzed in terms of a ‘cognitive-perceptual operation,’ an operation ultimately aiming at not merely damaging international reputation, but disrupting domestic decision-making system, social capital erosion, and the rift in the nation-state relationship through the production of threatening perceptions.
In a note published on October 9, 2025 (Mehr 17, 1404), titled ‘Possible Scenarios for the ‘Street’ Issue After the 12-Day War,’ IranView24 wrote: after the end of the 12-day war, with a fragile ceasefire, the equations of pressure on Iran have entered a new phase. Existing analyses indicate that the competition has shifted from a merely military field to the realm of economics, perception, and finally the ‘street.’ It is fundamentally assumed that foreign actors, especially the U.S. and Israel, have made the ‘street’ the centrepiece of their calculations to exert pressure on Iran in the post-war period. Hence, the post-war period is not a period of calm, but a test of national resilience in the face of a multi-layered and perceptual war whose main battlefield is the minds and daily lives of the Iranian citizens.
On December 13 (Azar 22), 2025, IranView24 wrote in another note from the news agency editorial board titled ‘The Technical Framing of the ‘Manufactured Killing’ Project and Its Mechanisms:’
1- The manufactured killing project should be regarded as a durable tool in the hybrid warfare toolbox of Western-Zionist adversaries against Iran—a tool that, with minimal material cost, produces maximum perceptual impact in reinforcing Iranophobia at domestic, regional, and international levels.
2- The important point is that repeating this trick over and over again, the opponent’s intelligence and security agencies have acquired a set of tools, infrastructure, and operational models that allow them to quickly and systematically dominate incidents and events.
3- One of the strategic advantages of this project for hostile networks is that even in cases of tactical failure, a minimum level of ‘perceptual residue’ remains in public opinion—a residue that, in later stages, is exploited as a semantic anchor and mental presupposition to activate and facilitate future projects, that is, from the perspective of cognitive warfare, each project in this narrative and cognitive war possesses an accumulative effect.
After that, on January 4 (Day 14), 2026, IranView24 in a note from the news agency editorial board titled ‘Trump’s Threat and the ‘Manufactured Killing’ Trap: How Is Public Openion Being Manupulated?’ wrote:
“Trump’s Threat and the Killing Trap.” How is public opinion being played? When Donald Trump issues a preemptive threat of attack and unveils the ‘manufactured killing’ project, what scenario is taking shape, and where does public opinion stand in this game? In this article, by analyzing the reason why the manufactured killing project has been launched, the logic of the game of this project has been explained once again, and finally, it is said how public opinion can avoid falling into the trap of the ‘manufactured Killing.’
In the abovementioned article, it has been stressed that neutralizing the ‘manufactured killing’ project is directed less at official intelligence and security institutions, and more directly at the country’s public opinion which would be the victim of any hostile action by the enemy.
Now, after the terrorist incidents of January 8 and 9 (Day 18 and 19), the Zionist regime-affiliated networks make claims in the course of the manufactured killing project, and the code of 12,000 deaths in the recent incidents, through clear newsmaking, citing the number on the cover of one of the deceased in these incidents. Certainly, any sane person regarding the analysis of the manufactured killing project should note that the higher the number of victims, the more successful their project will appear. In fact, the goal of the designers of the manufactured killing project has been to increase the number of victims, and confessedly, up to 800,000 people.
However, it is necessary to clarify that according to the explanation of the Iranian Medicine Organization expert in Tehran Province regarding the image being cited by the media elements of the Mossad intelligence agency, at the beginning of each year, the burial permit numbers in Tehran Province start with the number 0001, and this number increases with each death until the end of the year, so that with the end of the year and the beginning of the new year, it becomes zero again, and the new year number starts with 0001. Therefore, the code assigned to the cover of those who died in the recent terrorist incidents represents the total number of cases referred from Tehran Province to the provincial diagnostic and laboratory center since the beginning of the year.
The important point is the burial permit number—a number that is entered in a rectangular box at the top of the “Declaration Sheet for the Body Recipient” after the deceased’s identity has been verified by first-degree family members. These numbers, while being clumsily abused by hostile media and International, and becoming a criterion for the death toll, are only the number of the burial permit, and are just a number for going through administrative procedures.
Overall, it should once again be emphasized that the higher the number of victims of terrorist incidents, the more successful the manufactured killing project appears, and the Zionist regime’s mercenary media outlets also consider themselves victorious for their part in provoking this killing.
Indeed, the statistics provided by the agents and designers of the manufactured killing project pursue the two following goals:
• Re-inciting unrest and the continuation of the manufactured killing project
• and also inculcating victory in U.S and Zionist investors in the project of killing people
It should be emphasized once again that the criminals who have killed more than 70,000 people in Gaza, and for whom the people of Gaza have been turned into meaningless numbers whose killing continues, certainly have not been and will not be benevolent towards the Iranian people, and for them, Iranians constitute numbers that the more they are sacrificed, the more their manufactured killing project will be successful. Do not be the numbers of the project of Iran’s enemies.
