Iran’s nationwide uprising is witnessing its 197th day as Resistance Units affiliated to the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) launch a new wave of anti-regime measures in numerous cities across the country. In parallel fashion, the brave Baluchis of Sistan & Baluchestan Province, especially the city of Zahedan, are renewing their protests against the mullahs’ regime. Reports indicated regime officials disrupted internet connections to prevent any reporting and/or posting of today’s protests, including footage.

People throughout the country continue to specifically hold the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei responsible for their miseries, while also condemning the oppressive the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and paramilitary Basij units, alongside other security units that are on the ground suppressing the peaceful demonstrators.

Protests in Iran have to this day expanded to at least 282 cities. Over 750 people have been killed and more than 30,000 are arrested by the regime’s forces, according to sources of Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The names of 675 killed protesters have been published by the PMOI/MEK.

Locals in Tehran’s different districts, including Shahrak-e Bagheri, along with other cities including Karaj and Qom, began chanting anti-regime slogans on Friday night, including:
“Down with the dictator!”
“Down with Khamenei, the murderer!”
“Khamenei, you murderer! We will bury you!”
“We swear on the blood of our compatriots, we will stand to the end!”
“We will not appease the murderous [Khamenei]!”
“Down with the child-killing regime!”
“Down with Khamenei!”

Reports indicate an attack by rebellious youth in the city of Gachsaran, of Kohgiluyeh & Boyer Ahmad Province in southwest Iran targeting a site of the IRGC paramilitary Basij force. This site is missioned to control, confront, and impose crackdown measures against anti-regime protests.

Members of the regime’s IRGC, Intelligence Ministry, and plainclothes agents in Gachsaran have attacked demonstrators and arrested many protesters. Many of those apprehended were interrogated and tortured, and thus transferred to the IRGC intelligence units to be taken to other prisons, some being secret detention centers.

Ever since the nationwide protests of 2017, sites and members of the regime’s IRGC, Basij, Intelligence Ministry, and plainclothes agents have been targeted consistently by Iran’s brave protesters and rebellious youth.

In other measures, protesters in the city of Sanandaj, the provincial capital of Kurdistan, torched a banner promoting the regime’s ideology and mentality that is loathed by the Iranian people.

On Friday morning, activists in the city of Bukan in northwest Iran are reporting that taxi drivers are on strike, protesting and voicing their economic woes. Taxi drivers in other cities have also been protesting recently as the country’s economy is in shambles due to the regime’s destructive policies, or lack thereof.

In recently obtained reports, rebellious youth in Rasht, northern Iran, attacked the regime’s municipality building located in the city’s District 4 area on Wednesday night local time. The attack involved an explosion that resulted in a fire at the building.

MEK Resistance Units and rebellious youth also launched a new campaign of measures and attacks against the regime’s sites and interests in various cities across the country.

—Rebellious youth attacked a building in Mashhad used by the mullahs’ regime to promote their ideology of hatred, misogyny, and fundamentalism. The attack led to a fire at the site.
—Rebellious youth attacked the regime’s Foreign Ministry Representative Office in the city of Kermanshah in western Iran. The attack led to a fire at the site.
—Rebellious youth attacked the so-called “Khomeini Relief Center” in the city of Kish in southern Iran. The attack led to a fire at the site.
—Rebellious youth attacked and threw Molotov cocktails at IRGC paramilitary Basij sites in the cities of Mashhad, Hamadan, Bushehr, and Mahabad. These attacks led to numerous fires at the targeted sites.
—MEK Resistance Units torched large images of regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the cities of Yazd, Babol, and Qeshm.
—MEK Resistance Units torched a large image of former IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani in Tehran.

MEK Resistance Units had launched marches in recent days and began chanting anti-regime slogans in Tehran and other cities, including Mashhad, Shiraz, Shahrekord, and Kashan. Their slogans included:
“Down with Khamenei! Hail to Rajavi!”
“The world should know that Massoud (Rajavi) is our leader. The National Liberation Army of Iran is our final response.”
“Down with oppressors, be it the Shah or [Khamenei]!”
“Freedom will be established with the moto of ‘We can and we must’!”
“Democracy and equality with Maryam Rajavi!”
“No to monarchy! No to [mullahs’ regime]! Democracy and equality!”
“Poverty-Corruption-High prices! We’re going to overthrow the regime!”

MEK Resistance Units also march in the city of Kashan, south-central Iran, while chanting: “We are the MEK and we’re fighting against the mullahs! Down with oppressors, be it the Shah or [Khamenei]!”

Workers of the Haft Tappeh Sugarcane Company in the city of Shush of Khuzestan Province in southwest Iran held a rally on Thursday protesting their extremely low paychecks determined by the regime’s Supreme Labor Council. These oppressed workers have long been holding rallies, including one yesterday, another on March 25, and also on March 11, protesting the company officials’ refusal to address their demands. These workers have vowed to continue their protests, scheduling their next rally for Friday.

The protesting workers were chanting:
“Haft Tappeh workers, unite, unite!”
“Iranian workers, unite, unite!”
“Workers would rather die than live in infamy!”
“Down with oppressors! Hail to workers!”

Iranian opposition coalition NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi reiterated the determination of the Iranian people to continue their anti-regime campaign and revolution against the mullahs’ regime in its entirety with the objective of establishing freedom, democracy, and human rights in a secular republic across Iran.

“What is the answer to a regime that will stop at nothing to evade being overthrown? The answer lies in the organized protests, demonstrations, and uprisings led by Resistance Units and the Iranian people’s great Army of Freedom,” the NCRI President-elect explained.

“Meanwhile, the pseudo-solutions propped up by the interests opposed to those of the nation use the remnants of the toppled dictatorial regime, and those defecting the regime ranks to stage their theatrics. This political and social bankruptcy, as well as international disgrace, which has gripped the front of tyranny and dependence, is a result of the achievements of the Iranian people, their uprising, and the Resistance movement,” she added.

The protests in Iran began following the death of Mahsa Amini. Mahsa (Zhina) Amini, a 22-year-old woman from the city of Saqqez in Kurdistan Province, western Iran, who traveled to Tehran with her family, was arrested on Tuesday, September 13, at the entry of Haqqani Highway by the regime’s so-called “Guidance Patrol” and transferred to the “Moral Security” agency.

She was brutally beaten by the morality police and died of her wounds in a Tehran hospital on September 16. The event triggered protests that quickly spread across Iran and rekindled the people’s desire to overthrow the regime.
