While the clerical regime in Tehran deploys bulldozers in a desperate attempt to erase the evidence of its past massacres, the flame of resistance is burning brighter than ever across the country.
In the southeastern city of Zahedan, the recent activities of the PMOI Resistance Units serve as a powerful testament to this reality. Their actions are a direct and defiant response to the regime’s campaign of fear and historical erasure, demonstrating that the Iranian people and their organized Resistance will neither forget the regime’s crimes nor abandon their struggle for a free and democratic Iran.
Destroying a crime scene from Tehran to Zahedan
The recent wave of defiance in Zahedan comes as the regime accelerates its efforts to destroy a crucial crime scene. On August 22, 2025, an official from Tehran’s Behesht-e Zahra cemetery admitted that Section 41, the resting place of thousands of PMOI members executed in the 1980s, was “flattened… and turned into a parking lot.”

This brazen act of destroying evidence is not going unnoticed. The Resistance Units in Zahedan directly confronted this crime, holding placards that read, “From Zahedan to Tehran, the regime is trying to erase the evidence of its crimes and must be held to account.” This proves that the regime’s crimes in the capital are fueling resistance in the provinces, creating a unified, nationwide front of defiance.
Rejecting all forms of dictatorship
The Resistance Units are not just reacting to the regime’s brutality; they are articulating a clear and democratic vision for Iran’s future. Their message unequivocally rejects all forms of tyranny, past and present. Slogans such as “No to Shah, no to mullahs,” and “A dictator is a dictator, whether with a turban or a crown,” resonate deeply with a populace that has suffered under both monarchical and clerical rule.
They champion the “Third Option” espoused by NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi, which rejects foreign intervention and appeasement. A placard in Zahedan made this clear: “No to war, no to appeasement, yes to the overthrow of the religious tyranny by the people and Resistance of Iran.” This underscores that the only legitimate path to change comes from within Iran, led by its own people and their organized movement.

Exposing a failing and murderous regime
The Resistance Units’ activities also connect the regime’s political crimes to its systemic failure to meet the people’s most basic needs. As nationwide water and electricity outages disrupt lives and businesses, one placard declared, “As long as this criminal regime is in power, neither water nor power nor anything else will be resolved.”
Furthermore, they dismantle the false facade of “moderation” under President Masoud Pezeshkian. While some in the West may be tempted by this narrative, the Resistance Units present the grim reality: “During the presidency of Pezeshkian, more than 1630 people have been executed.” This staggering number proves that no matter who holds the title of president, the regime’s foundation of execution and massacre remains unchanged.
The inevitable overthrow
The regime’s attempt to bulldoze its history of crimes is not a sign of strength, but of profound weakness and fear of accountability. In contrast, the defiant messages rising from the streets of Zahedan are a sign of courage and an unwavering commitment to justice. The brave men and women of the Resistance Units are ensuring that the memory of the martyrs is not erased but transformed into fuel for the final push for freedom. Their core message is the promise of a new dawn for Iran: “Regime change by the people and organized resistance will put Iran on the path to democracy.”
