Iranian Airspace Empties – Only Flights from China and Russia Identified Over Iran

The skies over Iran are empty.  It’s now looking like Venezuela before Maduro’s capture. 

(Above snapshot taken at 8pm eastern on Wednesday, Jan 14, 26 at FlightAware.)

The crowds in Iran are increasing in size.  Night after night, they appear to get bigger.  The people are ready for the Islamic Regime in power to leave the country and never come back.

🔥 Now

Tehran is on the verge of falling into the hands of the revolutionaries

The days, if not hours, remaining of the Islamic regime in Iran are coming to an end according to a senior Israeli defense leader.  🚨 “THERE WILL BE NO IRANIAN REGIME” — THE CLOCK IS RUNNING

“There will be no Iranian regime. This is going to be an American-led attack with Israeli support. The regime stands no chance.”

While millions of Iranians are flooding the streets and the regime fires on its own people, powerful voices inside Israel’s security establishment are now openly saying the unthinkable: That the Islamic dictatorship in Tehran is approaching its end.

According to insiders, the regime is cracking from the inside:
• defections are beginning
• elites are demoralized
• security forces are divided
• and Khamenei’s inner circle is reportedly preparing escape plans

This is what late-stage collapse looks like.  The streets of Iran are no longer afraid. The world is no longer pretending. And Washington is no longer ignoring what’s happening.

This is not about regional politics anymore.

Iran is starting to look like Venezuela before Maduro’s capture.  The skies over Venezuela were very, very quiet.

Maduro Reportedly Attempting to Escape After President Trump Shut Down Airspace Over Venezuela

We are seeing the same thing over Iran.  Only two planes are in the skies, both coming from China near Hong Kong.

At 9:15pm eastern only one plane was over the skies of Iran and that was coming from Russia.

The end of the Islamic regime in Iran appears to be near.

  1. In the last attack, Israeli jets used commercial jets as cover.

    There were 2 different reports about US & Israel standing down, but clearly Iran is not going to fall for that one again.

  2. "Why is China flying 2 planes into Iran while the airspace is closed?" – hopefully to evict the evil ring 'leaders'

  3. A real leader puts talk into action.
    He is NOT willing to die for anyone.
    He stays safely on the sidelines.
    He is letting the power vacuum continue as Iranians,
    unarmed, are getting shot.
    They need organzation and a leader that is present in their country.
    He is nto doign any of that.
    He is a disgrace and a coward.
    What a leader! LOL.

  4. Well, that should make target acquisition a snap for the flyboys. "Maverick, IFF pinging off that contact?" "Nope" "Weapons free" "Too close for guns, switching to missiles" Derka derka.

  5. I just checked flightradar24 and saw quite a few Dubai flights overflying Iran going to other countries.

  6. Interesting how most comments are against the current Islamic state in Iran. No comments about the many Imams' demands to grow an Islamic state in the US which is just getting started.

  7. Hiya. My name is Howard Stern. Frankly, I don't care if Trump brings freedom to 80 million Iranians. My beef with Trump is that all Hollywood palsy-walsies hate him. Trump might as well be spending all his time atop a toilet seat than trying to impress me.

    • The Persian people will, no doubt. This will be the biggest defeat for Islam and Islamism since Vienna.

  8. It was already almost at the point of "too little, too late" when the strike was called off last night. I hope Trump doesn't delay too much longer.

  9. The are flying the leaders out of Iran & leaving the little unorganized guys to fight against the US. This isn't going to be much of a war.

  10. This is what the Iranians and the West are fighting against – This is ISLAM

    ▪️”We shall export our revolution to the whole world. Until the cry ‘There is no god but Allah’ resounds over the whole world”…

    ▪️”The Quran commands: “War! War until victory!” A religion without war is a crippled religion”.

    ▪️”To kill the infidels is one of the noblest missions Allah has reserved for mankind”.

    ▪️”Establishing the Islamic state world-wide belongs to the great goals of the revolution”.

    ▪️”We have set as our goal the world-wide spread of the influence of Islam and the suppression of the rule of the world conquerors”.

    ▪️”We wish to cause the corrupt roots of Zionism, capitalism and Communism to wither throughout the world. We wish, as does God almighty, to destroy the systems which are based on these three foundations, and to promote the Islamic order of the Prophet … in the world of arrogance”.

    ▪️”Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world.”

    ▪️”Those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world.”

    ▪️”People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for Holy Warriors!”

    None of this is coded language.
    None of this is metaphor.

    They are telling us exactly who they are. Maybe it’s time we listen.

    • The complete opposite of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Those who study Islamic Holy War …….. are figuring out that killing people to establish THEIR OWN SUBSERVIENCE UNDER RUTHLESS LEADERS WHO SIT COMFORTABLY IN CASTLES WHILE THE SOLDIERS SHED THEIR BLOOD!!!

  11. It is good to listen to different Iranian voices, especially older folk who have proved themselves outside of Iran in their professions. One of these is the economist Dr Iraj Abidyan who has had a successful career in South Africa. Mainstream media should be speaking to people like this and not get their information from supporters of the Supreme Leader.

  12. Iran causes major problems in the World…Obama supported them…They had an assassination squad aiming for Trump in 2024….they fund and train terrorists…l really want the Mullahs overthrown…l pray it happens very soon.

  13. Looking forward to seeing the people of Iran finally get peace, they have suffered enough, have real government come in most likely our own and show the way for proper government to be established.

  15. I'm frankly surprised that Trump may actually take action because I thought for sure there would be endless negotiating like we had for months before the 12 Day-War in June.

    Latest from Fox News:

    US sending military assets to Middle East as Trump weighs Iran strike, sources say

  16. The crowds in Iran are increasing in size. Night after night, they appear to get bigger.

    This Joe Hoft is a real piece of work. The protests are over. The regime change attempt failed a week ago. This guy must live in bizarro world.

  17. Trump is backing off attacking Iran after he told Iranian "patriots" to go out and riot, getting thousands killed for nothing. Trump is an absolute moron.

  18. .
    Such busy skies to begin with…

    Nobody wants War, their "leaders" need to give up Power, or they may not survive…

    There's millions out there very pissed off…
    .

  19. The ayatollah has already moved great amounts of money out of Iran in last few days. This alone is a strong sign the end of their rule is coming.

    • I think people underestimate the power of Trump saying they can’t kill or persecute protestors or we will attack. If the government can’t kill the protestors then they will fall. So Trump has set it up for the revolution to succeed on its own without direct military involvement. At least it’s a good theory if it’s not exactly what is happening.

    • Well…. we know that Stinky Hunsecker gave the ayatollah a sufficient supply of pallets to move his great amounts of money.

    • They want a Collateral Shoot Down. A plane full of innocents means NOTHING to them but a News Cycle moment.

  20. "What is China doing sending planes into a strike zone? "

    I'm pretty sure they think that somebody is interested in cutting their oil off (or at least using it as leverage at some point in the future).

  21. I hope that Trump after urging on the Protesters who are putting their lives on the line, will at least provide weapons. It is absolute excrement that the brutal Iranian regime will stop killing the people. They will do it more slowly and surreptitiously. Trump will be worse than Obama and Biden if he does not provide real help because up until yesterday he urged the protesters on. I pray that DjT doesn't become Trump the Iranian chump.

      • Canada – to its everlasting shame – was the last country to categorize the IRGC as a terrorist entity.

      • I think he's given every indication he won't. Even if he does less than expected, it will still be more than any POTUS has done for Iran since Nixon.

        • Somalis with a child who was not autistic got encouragement from the Minnesota authorities to lie and say the child is autistic. This blatant thievery was authorized by Walz and Company. Much of the money ended up in terrorist hands. The poor people of Minnesota be damned!

  22. Crown Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, is a coward. He stays in SAFE countries but it not helpin them. Just talking is not helping them. He should be doing more.

    Get Israel to quietly arm protesters. Have Israel inflitrate Iran and ORGANIZE and ARM protesters. Reza Pahlavi appears to want others to do the heavy lifitng and then breeze in and take over. He is blowing an opportunity.

    • He won't be any good dead. He's not going to go there and throw rocks. He would be target #1 if he returned now. I leave his value up to the Iranians. I don't see them bashing him. I see them clamoring for him.

  23. They looted the treasury, packed courts with anti-Americans, and weaponized outsiders against Americans.

  24. Tehran is in a fifteen year drought, they are completely out of water with no hope in sight. IT'S OVER! AND THEY KNOW IT.

  25. Many of their military and military leaders as well as police have defected.
    The would be happy to PROTECT him.
    He cowardly stays away.
    A real leader would be there.
    He is a coward!

    Sure he will be happy to return when OTHERS have done the work.
    I have no respect for him.
    He is a talker and not a doer.

  26. Earlier, it sounded like they were talking, or arranging to talk again. Hard to tell these days. A lot less leakers even though they just busted a contractor.

    But usually "scheduling talks" just means Iran stalls for time. We'll see.

  27. Why are "Only two planes … in the skies, both coming from China near Hong Kong?" Perhaps the pilots are suicidal.

  28. So, assuming everything goes as we expect and the regime falls, the biggest question will be what comes next?

  29. Iran belongs to its people, not the tyrannical mullahs and imams. The regime has bankrupted the once-wealthy country with its funding of the global intifada. For a bunch of "religious" fanatics, these Islamists are a murderous bloodthirsty bunch. Iran seems to have developed a case of Islamophobia.

    I pray the people succeed in taking back their country, one way or another.

  30. The best fast way to do this would be to bribe the guards at some Iranian armory and pass out a bunch of AK-47 and RPG's to the rebels.
    a little slower would be to smuggle some in, although that could be done by an AirDrop.

  31. 12,000 Killed in Protest Crackdown
    By Aam Berkowitz
    January 13, 2026

    ranian opposition sources claim the regime killed at least 12,000 people during recent protests in what would be the deadliest massacre in the nation’s modern history. The figures, reported by opposition outlet Iran International, exceed verified counts from human rights organizations and represent what the outlet describes as a coordinated crackdown ordered from the highest levels of government as demonstrations demanding an end to 46 years of theocratic rule swept across Iran.

    Iran International reported Tuesday that most deaths occurred on the nights of January 8-9, with killings carried out primarily by Revolutionary Guards and Basij forces acting on orders from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The outlet says the information comes from multiple sources within Iran’s security apparatus, including individuals close to the Supreme National Security Council and the presidential office, as well as personnel from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Mashhad, Kermanshah, and Isfahan. Medical officials, eyewitnesses, and families of victims provided additional information. Iran International states it compiled and cross-referenced the data through multiple stages in accordance with strict professional standards, and that the figures represent estimates held by Iran’s own security authorities. The outlet emphasized that these were organized killings, not scattered clashes, with most victims under 30 years old.

  32. You're worse than Joe Hoft with the nonsense. Get over it. The regime change attempt failed a week ago. Boo hoo for you.

  33. As much as the current fanatical regime needs to go, I pause only to wonder what exactly would fill the power vacuum. We're not talking about a region that is known for political stability except through authoritarianism, repression, and jihad. And we all know how nation-building tends to go.

  34. The IRGC will be prepared for the fall. You can count on them 'pretending' to get with the new reality, but they will actually be positioning themselves to survive as an organization capable of executing their own coup. Beware the machinations of the IRGC, they have been involved in nearly everything wrong in the Middle East. Best policy is not to believe anything they have to say, and to eliminate their military capabilities.

  35. Why were only Chinese and Russian planes allowed to come in and out of Iran yesterday? Are they picking up Islamic State people and getting them out? Did they sneak the Ayatollah out? I heard they have suitcases full of cash, and fake passports.. Many of the IRGC are sneaking OUT of Iran…

  36. Sure who wants to fly on airlines that operate out of low IQ Arab lands? For real? People actually get on these 'aircraft?'
