On the anniversary of the death of Iranian regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini, the issuer of the religious decree (fatwa) for the massacre of political prisoners in 1988, rebellious youth launched 25 operations, carrying out fiery attacks against the centers of oppression and crime and symbols of Khomeini and Ali Khamenei, the current Supreme Leader of the regime.
37 years ago, in his fatwa for the genocide and mass annihilation of the PMOI, Khomeini wrote, “Those who in prisons across the country persist in their stance of hypocrisy [a derogatory term used by the regime for the PMOI/MEK] are considered Mohareb [waging war against God] and are condemned to execution… Showing mercy to Moharebin is simple-mindedness.” This fatwa led to the 1988 massacre of more than 30,000 political prisoners, mostly PMOI members and supporters.
Under this decree, more than thirty thousand political prisoners across Iran were ruthlessly hanged by Khomeini’s henchmen. However, as Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, Khomeini’s then-designated successor, warned him at the time, this massacre caused the regime to become “hated by the people.” Yet, the PMOI was not only not annihilated but also saw its cause spread and its numbers multiply.
The brave rebellious youth, who have sprung from the legacy of those martyrs, 37 years after the death of the cursed Khomeini (who died on June 3, 1989), struck down symbols of Khamenei and targeted the regime’s centers of oppression and crime in 25 operations across various cities as follows:
- Incendiary attack at the State Security Forces Command headquarters in Najafabad.
- Incendiary attack at a building of security forces in Gorgan
- Incendiary attack at the headquarters of the Khomeini Committee in Shahr-e Rey.
- Incendiary attack at the office of the Khomeini Committee in Lahijan.
- Incendiary attack at a center of fundamentalism and terrorism in Mashhad
- Incendiary attack at a regime building for torture and repression in Genaveh
- Setting fire to a banner of Khamenei in Shushtar.
- Setting fire to Basij bases of the IRGC in Langarud and in Sib, Sistan and Baluchestan province.
- Setting fire to banners of Khomeini in Eslamshahr, Urmia, Gorgan, Shahreza, and Takestan.
- Setting fire to banners of Khomeini and Khamenei in Tehran, Shahrekord, Neyshabur, and Izeh.
Setting fire to images of butcher Qassem Soleimani (former commander of the IRGC’s terrorist Quds Force) and the regime’s regional proxies in Tabriz and Masjed Soleyman. - Setting fire to an IRGC banner in Urmia.
- Setting fire to signboards of the Basij IRGC espionage headquarters in Tehran, Azadshahr, and Bojnurd.
These 25 operations and attacks by the rebellious youth on the espionage, oppression, and crime centers of the regime, and the torching of Khomeini’s images on the anniversary his death, are flames from the volcano of the people’s wrath and fury against this charlatan thief of the revolution and betrayer of the hopes and trust of the Iranian people. Khomeini is the greatest political, social, and religious calamity in Iran’s history.
When Khomeini seized power, his first action was to slaughter truth and freedom of speech. Khomeini was the extension of the brutal rule of the Shah. Khomeini was the greatest political, social, and religious calamity in Iran’s history.
Today, the actions of Iran’s rebellious youth is further proof that the people of Iran have rejected the rule of the mullahs and will never submit to any form of tyranny.
