These actions are part of an extensive campaign advocating for regime change, as the opposition condemns the regime’s widespread executions and systematic repression. The unwavering spirit of these Resistance Units highlights the enduring resilience of Iran’s opposition movement.
Despite severe measures imposed by the Iranian security forces, the Resistance Units have carried out numerous revolutionary activities aimed at galvanizing public dissent and exposing the regime’s vulnerabilities.

The Iranian regime’s increasing reliance on executions as a tool of suppression indicates its fear of the mounting opposition. Slogans condemning this strategy, such as “The spike in executions is indicative of Khamenei’s fear of the people’s uprising,” expose the regime’s desperation to silence dissent.
Despite the intensifying repression, the Resistance Units have remained steadfast, inspiring hope among citizens and signaling that the struggle for freedom is far from over.
The persistence of the PMOI Resistance Units in Zahedan serves as a testament to the unyielding resolve of Iranians who are determined to achieve regime change. Their slogans encapsulate a collective longing for justice and freedom, resonating with a nation eager to reclaim its rights. Statements like “Shah and mullahs, 100 years of crimes” echo a historical frustration with autocracy, while “The longstanding demand of the people and resistance of Iran is the eviction of the mullahs’ regime” reflects a clear objective.
