On Sunday, May 11, 2025, Iran’s heroic rebellious youth, under the slogan responded to the regime’s mismanagement of the country and power outages with 15 fiery operations in various cities.
The rebellious youth attacked the centers of oppression, crime, and plundering of the mullahs’ dictatorship as follows:
- An incendiary attack at the office of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s representative in universities, a regime institution used to suppress students on campus.
- Three incendiary attacks targeted the regime’s suppressive institutions in Ramian, Golestan province.
- Attack with Molotov cocktails at a regime in Kaki, Bushehr province.
- Two attacks on the general directorate of a regime center for plundering and corruption in Shahrekord.
- Setting fire to images of Khamenei and Qassem Soleimani in Gorgan.
- Setting fire to an IRGC Basij base in Tehran.
- Setting fire to an IRGC Basij base in Khash.
- Setting fire to a Basij unit tasked with suppressing students in Kermanshah.
- Setting fire to a regime institution in Hashtgerd responsible for displacing citizens.
- Setting fire to an IRGC Basij unit tasked with suppressing students in Kermanshah.
- Setting fire to government billboards, banners, and posters with cursed images of regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini, Khamenei, and Soleimani in Tehran, Bandar Abbas, Kerman, Kermanshah, Neyshabur, and Malayer.
Frequent and unannounced power outages have sparked a wave of anger and hatred among people in Iranian cities. Protests by students, schoolchildren, shopkeepers, and other segments of society, with slogans such as “Death to Khamenei” and “Death to the dictator,” echo the public’s fury and resentment against the ruling mafia in Khamenei’s web of corruption.
Concurrent with the fiery response of the rebellious youth to the power outages and the regime’s attempts to immobilize the population, Social Security retirees in Kermanshah protested in the streets, chanting: “With power outages, the country is returning to the Stone Age,” “The monster of inflation is devouring the people,” and “The government’s budget is a plague on the nation; water, electricity, and livelihood have been stolen from the people.”
Steel retirees in Isfahan also expressed their anger and protest against the corruption, theft, and crimes of the corrupt regime with the slogan: “Their slogan is ‘Hussein, Hussein,’ but their work is lies and theft,” highlighting the regime’s abuse of religious authority to expand and justify its corruption.
People whose businesses are paralyzed by power outages and who repeatedly face irreparable losses are showing their anger and protest against the oppressors in various ways, both in the streets and at their workplaces. Bakers, whose large quantities of dough are ruined by power cuts, express their indescribable anger by throwing the spoiled dough onto the streets or smearing it on their heads and faces in disgust at the regime. One baker, showing his ruined bread, exclaims: “People who have to fight for their daily bread, how can they be hopeful about the future? You ate, you slept, you plundered; now you expect people to stay?”
This anger and rebellion are not limited to bakers. Power outages have exasperated shopkeepers, tradespeople such as carpenters, window and door makers, lathe workers, and other artisans, as well as farmers, hospital staff, and patients.
Media outlets and regime loyalists describe this situation as a “catastrophe” that could shake the foundations of the regime. A state-run newspaper, Ham-Mihan, in a report on May 6, 2025, titled “Act Before the Catastrophe,” wrote: “The country’s electricity generation and normal consumption levels are not far apart; however, all this imbalance stems from other sources. Do not put more pressure on the people. Daily power outages for several hours, especially with an unfair schedule, will not solve the imbalance problem. Share the problem honestly with the people; otherwise, be sure that even staunch supporters of the government will be forced to protest these wrong procedures, delays, and incorrect justifications. Take action before a catastrophe occurs.”
Despite the mullahs’ regime’s sinister intentions to immobilize the people and prevent any uprising or revolt, all signs indicate that unbearable living conditions and crises such as power outages, alongside high inflation, will become sparks for a conflagration. For, in the face of the regime of execution and massacre, “the solution lies in uprising and fire upon the entire regime.”
