As internal crises escalate and divisions intensify within Iran’s regime, supreme leader Ali Khamenei has resorted to the mass execution of prisoners. Since February 19, the regime has carried out nearly one hundred executions with the aim of creating an atmosphere of terror and repression. In response, the heroic rebellious youth have risen to confront the enemy with 60 fiery acts of resistance with the slogan “Fire answers executions.”
On March 10, in the fourth round of operations in the Persian month of Esfand (February 19–March 20), the rebellious youth carried out 15 operations, responding to the 96 known executions up to March 8 and the 936 executions during the tenure of the regime’s new president Masoud Pezeshkian. They struck at the regime’s bases of suppression and plundering, including IRGC and Basij bases, and centers of fundamentalism and crime, as follows:
- Setting fire to a center of fundamentalism and crime in Tehran
- Two incendiary attacks at the Khomeini Relief Committee in Kermanshah
- Two incendiary attacks at IRGC Basij bases in Zarandin, Mazandaran Province
- Attacking an IRGC Basij base in Shiraz

Khamenei’s execution machine continued its crimes and killings during Ramadan, even during fasting hours.
The regime’s judiciary hanged 27 prisoners in a barbaric crime on a Saturday, March 1.
On March 5, in a fiery response to the regime, the rebellious youth launched the third round of Esfand operations, targeting centers of looting and crime with 15 operations as follows:

Prior to this, in the second and first rounds of Esfand operations, the heroic rebellious youth responded to the regime’s policy of “intimidation through execution” with fiery activities, marked with the slogan “Fire answers execution.”
