Coming out of the years of harsh challenges and oppression, and natural disasters like earthquakes, many look forward to Afghanistan having some time for reprieve.
It appears there are multiple pots stirring, perhaps as an aggregate, a pot that has been getting hotter and hotter. It may be hard to tell when far off from the area, and available to media, just what exactly every event was that has occured since December of 2025 for instance.
However, it may be possible be present a few key events, developments, and names that could be indicators of where things could go if left unchecked.

What these, or some of these, are, or might be:
There's a 'group' if that's a label, and for brief words, called ISIS-K, which according to media trends, seems to be growing in 'notoriety' (in the 'terrorist world').
ISIS-K appears to sometimes be shortened to just ISIS, which might do a little disservice when trying to analyze the dynamics of events and developments. ISIS-K seems to have certain patterns of development, although it might somehow be tied to the popularly known ISIS. The K in ISIS-K according to popularly known definitions, might stand for Khorasan. Keep in mind, that sometimes nomenclatures especially when acronym based, are ways for media to quickly cite and label a group, entity and things of that kind (id genus omne), in a language, like English. On a practical, reality level, the English letter K is unlikely to be in the middle of an all Urdu sentence of today; 'Kh' might actually be represented as one letter in other eastern or Middle Eastern languages, transliteration efforts, could be more accurately transliterated Khurasan. Etc.

There's a 'group', ...ceteris paribus, called Al-Tazkirah, that is reported to be a recruiter for ISIS-K. Basically reports say they are reaching in to whom they see as potentials in the Uighur, Uyghur and other spellings, folk (reference China).

Simple background,- al usually means the, or amplified main, when translating Arabic and related/regional etc. languages to English. Tazkira, or tadhkira, tathkira, transliterations could go on to fill a page up, that zikr, or remembrance, usually used in the context of memory of the Creator, (religious), with a t or ta in front of it, and the circular letters or symbol after it for grammatical touches (quickly said). A lot of folks all over the world are familiar with the zikr, zhikr part. Reality is, once again, a word and concept that has been around since about as long as man at least itself, is being used as a group name.

A suicide bomb went off in a Chinese restaurant in Kabul, Afghanistan just about a couple of days ago. It is reported that ISIS-K took responsibility, and that it had to do with oppression of Uighurs, the target was Chinese National. Reports indicate one Chinese person passed away, there were a number of Afghanis that passed in the incident.

-Not to be judgemental of the vibe seen in the pictures of the tragedy.

- It might be somewhat safe to say, that there seems to be a lingering effort (by whomever, singular, multiple, it might be cloudy as to who or what exactly is behind it) to try to keep the presence of violence in the region.

In the meantime, at least within the past couple of months, there are roughly 2 to several main sets of concurrent border tensions going on. There may be other border concerns, maybe not as salient, or treated as salient in many media coverage.

Durand line around Pakistan border.
Generally looks on online easy access maps to be the longest of the borders, stretching along the south of Afghanistan.

Ongoing conditions are already in consideration.

Brief outline:

• Guatemalan police, at least 9 lost as of about right now, State of Emergency declared.
•    Uprisings in prisons, at least a few dozen guards reported to have been taken hostage. Two of the 3 prisons the occurrence appear to include, 
•        El Lobo Prison (Finca Modelo/Pavoncito)
•        Renovacion 1 (R1) in Escuintla
• Spain train incident, crash
• Minimums in recent Iran 'protestor crackdown' as reported by media are around 3900; it is not clear the totality if what is going into the protestors, protesting, or the crackdown. Reports are extreme numbers and some aspects of global media coverage of the incidents day to day seem barely seen. Last week, word got around that the crackdowns involving death had ceased, the numbers were 2500 thereabout. Perhaps a lull, ostensible rest, an increase of 1400 over; unclear, differing reports as to the larger number to begin with. Practical checks might have to come into the assessment, are there really that many people that could be in the city active in protesting if suppression(?) of it was in place for some weeks now.
• Mid December of last year was an incident in Delaware involving firearms at the DMV, trooper on guard the facility shot, then the shooter was shot by another law enforcement member. New findings on motives are surfacing in the media right through here.
•    Security modus operandi for motor vehicle facilities may be affected; large open space indoor facility with a skeletal crew of guards, and an assumption that there is minimal chance of something going wrong, is a perception that is plausibly under revision
• Fires at factories/plant:
•     South Deering, South Chicago area near water/ Indiana line, in the last few hours
•     Emporia, Virginia last Thursday night
• Judge and wife shot inside their home in Lafayette, Indiana earlier today
• South Korea reportedly slating go ramp up missiles/capacity etc in possible counterbalance of void of nuclear capability per pertinent treaties, for defense with respect to North Korea.
• Extreme flooding in Mozambique said to be a cause for mass displacement.
• Flooding in South Africa as well; perhaps southern Africa in general affected.
• Turquoise Alert issued, after 8 year old girl went missing, Navajo related.
• Greenland gaining momentum as a central issue in international politics arena, in sequence after US officials voicing prospectives.
• Former South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol and wife Kim Keon Hee, undergoing comb being cut, punitive actions set or the prospects of them, upon developments that unravelled having to do with insurrection, rebellion, and abuse of power, for the first named, and vagaries of allegations of financial related misconduct/corruption for the latter named.
• Rumen Radev announced that he will officially resign as Bulgarian president. Vice President Iliana Yotova reported as slated to hold hilt until next elections.
• Moldova making moves to move out CIS, into EU
• Recent smash and grab incident netting property assault thieves over a million dollars in Jersey City NJ the other day, proof that certain kinds of people and their activities is not desisting 

News is the news, facts are the facts, as of right this moment, popular media outlets are saying more than 2500 deaths have occurred amidst the protesting that have been going on in Iran over the past few weeks.
In addition, a U-Haul truck (we'll circle back to that shortly) mildly drove into a crowd of protestors in Los Angeles, California near a federal building on Veteran Avenue last Sunday about 3:30pm, supposedly that were in tune with the current large and popularly known about protests and protestors in Iran; although no one was injured, it may signify a number of dimensions of the current, the past, and what may become of the future.

Now let's discuss some of the underpinnings, philosophies, history, and concerns. Making this quick, because this write-up is not intended to be a template/boilerplate for either more developments, or to maintain unwanted strife.

Concept one, is that media might portray that Iran is comprised of a simple 2-sided story, or dichotomy. Whereas, one side are Shiite hardliners, and the other side, an easier going perhaps some Sunni, some remnants of Sufiism claimed, but altogether not depicted as hardliners and extremists.

Obviously in a nation as old as Iran, that sort of simplicity, Shia vs anti-Shia, or Shia vs Sunni, can't possibly exist.

A next big question could be, what is all the protesting in Iran currently about, or really about?
Is every protestors on the same page, especially given the incidence or frequency of protesting over the years?
Are protestors protesting:
The current government?
Certain individuals in the government?
Certain directions the government is going?
Wearing no headscarves?
Severity on punitive actions on women that wish to not wearing headscarves?
Severity on women who are on an extreme, that are in very loud manner acting in contradictions to current laws, such as lavish in films, magazine foldouts, the immodest showoff category?
The right to do drugs freely?
Thoughtfully investigated and properly presented Islam issues, such as adjustments with respect to time?
Some of the above?
Protesting for practice and sport?
Trying to facilitate a missile campaign on their own land so they can rob property and do other bad behaviors in the aftermath?
Are some of the protestors really foreigners and illegal immigrants trying to start trouble?
All of the above, might be a question if it wasn't impossible.

The Big Beautiful Bill was written up in the US some months back, which incidentally, had a number of reiterations, was long in word length, but when all the redundancies are deleted, possibly, the wordage could be markedly shorter; there were a lot perceivable references to fight readiness in the Middle East, months before the protesting going on in Iran right now. A number of high ranking politicians took immediate action to help refine and adjust aspects.

Problems may exist in Iran insofar higher, but not the highest, layers of government strata, whereat there appear to be some individuals generally monopolizing the situation for their own benefit, like padding their pockets; worst, drug money and power.

The rule that as in any government, after a while, there are bad apples that go corrupt, and spoil the bushel.

Basically at this point, the US in the ray of the President at the helm, and Commander in Chief of the military, is seriously considering intervention and possibly military action in consideration of the escalated level of protest violence, death toll, and perhaps discomfort at some of the political positions taken up by the government now in charge, in Iran.

This is where matters start getting murky.

At a far extreme, if the current regime (of Iran) is completely completely removed, if such a thing could conceivably exist, would it solve the worst that protestors are protesting against? The part about -if complete removal of every iota and individual from government and future government, might be impossible, a willow of the wisp,- might have given away, or at least be a clue to what is being alluded to here. There is the concept of what can briefly be called the pool of qualified people, such as to lead, direct, etc.

In a very small village comprised of a hundred people and ten families, often the pool of qualified and thus prospective leaders are the elders of the village, but not so old they can't function. Qualities such as certain amount of education, mental stability or certain to have sanity for at least the time in government seat, financial prowess, in leveraging positions with the village's neighbors so the village people can eat from trade and food imports, and plausibly the people are familiar enough with the leaders they know who to reach out to. Trust.
So, whether the leaders are Democrats, Republicans, mainly Sunni or mainly Shia, at the end of the day, if only a handful of qualified people are available, the qualified people more often than not, fill the referent seats. The other personal aspects of their religious practices, government philosophies, schools of thoughts, and so forth, often is what will have to be worked with or worked around.

Neighbors of the village know, not to completely eradicate the qualified pool of people of their neighboring village, from the old days; or these days, nation; as if the only people that remain to lead are chaotic incompetent inexperienced individuals, then there is a high likelihood that the whole village or nation is going to be a corrupt danger to them and all their neighbors, plus, if they have a valuable set of goods or resources, like food or raw materials that the neighbors need to eat, they won't survive or seriously risk losing access to those needed resources.

Perhaps the real story, in Iran, is who are the individuals that should stay, in power, in the government, and who should go or be moved to a different position, in an individual by individual, case by case basis.

2500 plus persons dying, clustered in a close timeframe, these days can be a sign of failure. The failure might not just be on the part of those local to the country where it is happening.

The world has been a witness in recent decades enough to bring it up, of people killing their own people to drag other nations into a war with them.
Frankly, nations today, even the people in large are aware of the gambit, ruse, scheme, and do not like it. 

While the situation of loss of life due to protesting in Iran is going on, what are the numbers of loss of life due to situations like hunger, in Sudan, rough estimate a half a million from 2024 through today, and about 30 million either at risk to starve or starving?, loss of life in Ukraine and Russia, and boots on the ground with a flag on the sleeve isn't happening there to common knowledge; so why the hot toward Iran?

It's an ugly question.

Part of the reason it's an ugly question, is the long-standing notion that some people out here are about nothing more that the destruction of Islamic civilization and cradles of Islamic civilization. Furthermore, some seek that destruction to facilitate decadence. Some people are looking for the fodder for human trafficking, rife prostitution, rife pornography, no wife belongs to their husband, no daughter minds any respect to their parents, nudity on the big screens and entertainment centers, and that's just the beginning. Destroying the Islamic constructs, the books and book holdings, they think, will help in the process of making way for the things they enjoy, referring to ignorant boys. The stalking.

Unfortunately, some people think that the US, along with other locations, are hotbeds from where those boys emerge from. So when mass destruction tools start looking like they are about to aimed at an Islamic area, while there's tons of other baloney going on in the rest of the world, it's starts simmering up in the blood as an issue.

In no particular order, these words, an order not all that necessary, getting the points out there.

The savior matter. Back in 1978 1979, when the current regime, or regime change took place, pretty much the media describes it as Shia with the Ayatollah Khomeini as the hallmarks, took place, it was perceived by some, maybe not all, as a way to 'save' Iran. Some that may have accepted the change understood that there may be aspects they disagreed or were uncomfortable with, but willing to move forward with it, a sacrifice of some sort for the larger accomplishment.

Let's face it, Iran and Persia have or has been around a long time, perhaps since the start of civilization. There's been at least 88,000 Prophets. 1 or 2 individuals the political party since civilization started until now, may not have been the practicality. Eventually, things might change. 100 ft man is hard to fit at the desk at the government office designed for a 6 ft man.

At the start of 2026, the savior, to woes or disagreements, or to a return to 'paradisical aspects' that may have been or perceived to have been in Iran slightly before Khomeini, may be a case of the grass appears greener on the other side of the fence.

The Shah, referring to the days slightly before Khomeini, had security forces, military forces, spy mitigation methods, crackdowns on uprisings, as is expected in any nation or regime. (There's no guarantee that the prior regime re-installed, is not going to have crackdowns, that could be more severe than the ones now, on people that try to usurp or disrupt the government.)

The Shah, back when at hilt, is reported to have discussed the prospects of, there are smart moves, and there are smarter moves, where the former may have appeared on the prima facie more appealing, but the latter more viable in the long term. For example, loosely translated, he told one official, 'you're not going to be happy until Russia has taken us over, or we are lost to Russia', and that's why such and such a move is not as smart as you think it is.

Both regimes Shah and Khomeini, had bright aspects, smart moves, smart people, but each may not have been an exact carbon copy of the other.

Does one correct aspect mean that one government should stay and not let the other one in, and vice versa?

With 2500 persons dead, everybody has to pay attention.
There is a popular math formula, known as the law of proportionality, when one aspect increases, if it increases, ipso facto, so does the other aspect, ie y=kx. Today, typically the higher the death toll, especially if those missing are going along with similar policies, the more media attention the situation gets.

Conjecturably there might be a range of small time politicians jumping up and down saying they condemn the actions on protestors in Iran; with a chance that some of them are nearly clueless to the background of Iran. Typically, as long as there is a pro such and such policy that is in sync with preponderant policy views, it can be real easy for a politician to make his or her way to to the media and pander for some votes, on issues salient. Rarer though is sincere genuine effort to go through the pains involved with what really brings about betterment, which might not be standing around on a social media platform in a flashy suit yacking.

It is understood that in the undercurrents of affairs pertinent Iran, are international relations with respect to Palestine and Israel. Unfortunately In today's era, sequences having to go with how to settle things in the Middle East often dwindle down to bomb dropped here, responded to by bomb dropped in another spot, then another bomb or missile strike, responded to by more of the same, over and over. The constructive methods of reaching peace, like having high levels meetings with everyone at the table, seems rare and overshadowed.

It was just about June of last year that an exchange of bombs occured, Iran among those struck.

There is the subject of how the big demon works- through being sneaky, in the little things, and ways that are hard to see. A few weeks ago, the toll from protesting in Iran went from reports of about 20 persons, to over 2500 as of the end of the second week of January. What happened to the gradations on the way, 100 persons, 300 persons, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000?

U-Haul trucks have been used at other times in the recent past to carry out messages on matters where there may be political/religious/philosophical disagreements.

Arguably, protesting of the kind in Los Angeles recently, up on the federal building, is not allowable by homeland security protocol. As an illustration, what could occur did occur, the opposing viewpoint shows up and does something extremely dangerous. What if a truck were to go awry, lose a tire and crash into a federal building, and federal employees get hurt inside?, then both sides of the protest are liable, and law enforcement is liable to, for failure to disperse and preempt potential hazards.

Holding a, protest, near a federal building, over another government or nation's situation, regardless of which side of the dichotomy one is on, brings up some questions. It is as though the government is being asked to get involved with another nation's affairs. Why would a group be doing that?, really be doing that?

If the US gets involved, ie in a conflict zone, there dangers to us, the US; involvement can mean potential loss of life of US soldiers is almost inevitable. So why stir the motivation? Why not ask or stir someone else?

We the US are not trying to send our teenagers into war zones where we know they will get hurt. We've already been through the war known as Vietnam, and went through experiences in the surrounding region, Laos, Cambodia, et al, and lost many, and some are still healing, of those that are alive. Intervention and action in more recent Middle East conflicts have also taken their tolls, the new Vietnam is getting older now, with folks in their 60s now, still dealing with psychological trauma. Starting up with Iran is not really a fit for today's times.

Iran is a pivotal nation, sitting at the crossroads of just about every philosophy and religious practice in the Middle East. Making odds with Iran or the people within it, even if just a few, indelible scars, and the rest of the sequences commonly associated with intervention, is almost automatically going to start a can of worms slithering out all over the place lasting for years and years, danger after danger, with no fruit gained. In sum, it's not healthy, especially when there are other ways to solve the problems in Iran.

U-Haul is a company designed to help people move their belongings from house to house, a resource that helps make America great.
Free speech, free to gather, to make or makes America great.
Streets and highways, that are actually paved, assists and facilitate making America great, not solely just the place to ride vehicles en route acts of terror or protest. 
The same lines apply for trains and their stations, and airplanes and their airports.

We, as in the USA, cannot have an incessant drip of a loss of valuable funds to keep our government going. Referring to drips like money lost due to fraud, illegal immigrants stealing and defrauding, etc. Basically, the feeling of euphoria some illegals get by treating the USA as though it was great big playground to milk for money, Land of Milk and Honey, well they are acting as though milking illegally is what that must mean.

In the process of the hey, that's enough, the lines in the sand have to be drawn, there might have been some developments and incidents that turned out had some awry or unexpected elements. For example, a prospective detainee decided to attempt to flee the scene, elude law enforcement, or even physically fight against police or agents. In the process of the melee en segue, people have gotten hurt.

It does happen, laws of physics or events that weren't in tune with expected laws of physics, may happen from time to time that have injuries in the result, especially when physical contact is involved.

Law enforcement refusing to pursue or chase eluding criminals, or make physical contact, agents with no firearm equipped, and other strategies designed to minimize possibilities of injury, when attempting to apprehend criminals in the ilk of the 'worst of the worst' might not be so wise, on the scales against the obverse. One obvious reason is that criminals who kill, might kill again, and that is not something worth the risk.

FYI since 1776, date of the Declaration of Independence, and going back further in the history of policing on a global level, it has been assessed that 'fleeing the scene', i.e. of an accident, crime or from police, or 'eluding law enforcement', like speeding away from a cop after being pulled over, should be and are generally illegal. Why?, standout answer, is, those actions can lead to very dangerous situations, like car accidents, rampages, accomplices showing up and causing havoc after a certain amount of time beyond when a potential arrestee should have been secured and detained, and so forth.

Recapping, fleeing the scene, eluding law enforcement, are illegal, against US law, and punishable crimes; of course, turning on police or law enforcement and attacking them, all the more illegal, perhaps obvious. 

Plausibly, because of public fallout after a detainee got injured, such as Rodney King in LA, 3/1991, and George Floyd in Minneapolis 5/2020, combative and elusive behaviors in general when interacting with law enforcement, may have gotten more laxity in recent years regarding punitive responses being enforced.

But previous lack of enforcement, settling in as new folkways, does not not necessarily mean that the laws are not there anymore, and of course the common sense of why the laws were established in the first place.

It may be down to the fine points of the balancing act, of how much force is wise, counterbalanced with how much patience and leniency should be applied.

Again just because one guy got leniency, then 10 guys, then just about everyone in a county for the last 10 years, went without a crackdown, does not mean that one is free to go without a crackdown especially when necessary.

Of course there is the want for no one to be injured. 
Think of it this way, the risk of being sued, the amounts of money involved in a typical suit, a law enforcement agent losing his or her job over a bullet discharged when they need the money from their job to feed their family, long careers coming to a close, mourning families, families splitting up (one side cop the other the injured), agency having tarnished reputation, funding halts affecting everyone, and a whole lot more drama, is not what law enforcement agencies want.

This first Saturday of Year 2026, of course we all want for it to be enjoyable. Please realize, that in the order of creation, there are going to be some of the pleasant gifts that will depart the world in certain aspects, there will be new entrants, births, new college grads, and new business owners.

As unbiased at the extreme as wished to possibly be, it cannot help to be noticed that some of the female stars, perhaps stars in their own tight, yet saliently akin to individuals that have made big name for themselves, have seen to have changed in the regard over the passage of time over the past several months.

So, a first order of business, is to make note of the occurrence.
