Iran, May 30, 2019 – News outlets associated with Iranian regime President Hassan Rouhani camp warn that the outburst of social unrest leading to an uprising is on the horizon. One such news outlet is Ebtekar daily, associated with the camp close to Rouhani. On May 26, Ebtekar warned regime officials of an uprising brewing among the underprivileged and poverty-stricken segment of the society.
In an article titled “The epidemic of poverty”, Ebtekar daily argues that the absolute poverty spreading to a large segment of Iran’s society is both frightening and unbelievable.
“During past decades, the monster known as poverty lived only in the boundaries of major cities such as Tehran, Mashhad, Tabriz, Isfahan, Ahvaz, and Shiraz. Yet nowadays, this monstrous infection has spread to every city and province across the country and has occupied a major portion of beltways around cities, taking control over these areas out of the hands of city authorities. These mushroom type shantytowns are lacking the very basic necessities such as sanitary infrastructures, education for children, hospitals, medical care centers, clinics and etc… In addition to these deficiencies, malnutrition, unlivable housings, colossal unemployment and … can be seen from the reflection on people’s faces,” Ebtekar wrote.
“The threat posed by the accumulation of people sharing the same social injustice and pain and economic disadvantages into larger and organized gatherings is hanging over our heads. People who share the same misery in life will eventually join hands and will someday, not in the too distant future, will sweep the rug from under our feet,” the daily added.
As history has proven time and again, the day that the wrath of the deprived society breaks out and frustration boils over, no weapon can stop that hurricane that will sweep everything in its path and the clerical regime will be washed away in its entirety.
