By Matin Karim
On Saturday, November 9, Iran’s rebellious youth attacked regime targets in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Mashhad in response to the increasing executions and massacres in Iran’s prisons, including:
– 94 executions from October 22 to November 8
– 441 executions during the tenure of regime president Masoud Pezeshkian
– 17 executions on Wednesday, November 8 alone
The rebellious youth also responded to the regime’s growing repressive measures against women and girls.
The targets of the attacks included:
Explosion at headquarters of the Khomeini Foundation in Shiraz, which is responsible for looting the wealth of the country to serve the regime’s nefarious purposes
Setting fire to a center for suppressing women in Tehran
Setting fire to three IRGC Basij bases in Tehran and Mashhad
Setting fire to banners of regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini, supreme leader Ali Khamenei, and former IRGC Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani in Tehran
Setting fire to banners of the regime’s terrorist proxies in Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz
While Khamenei increases executions to intimidate the oppressed and impoverished masses who have been driven to despair, the rebellious youth rise to lead the way for the downtrodden to protest.
On November 8, Resistance Units in Zahedan carried out anti-regime activities against the regime’s wave of repressive measures aimed at intimidating the public. The Resistance Units held banners and placards in public areas, reiterating their commitment to protect the rights of all Iranians and fighting for a free and democratic Iran.
– “For the freedom of the people and homeland, we only rely on ourselves”
– “The time has come to call for overthrowing the regime ”
– “The first and last word is overthrow, overthrow!”
– “Terrorism and trafficking plots don’t stick to our brothers who fight for justice and the minimum rights of the oppressed Baluch people”
– “The people of Sistan-Baluchistan and Sunni Iranians won’t be fooled by the appointment of a Sunni governor” (reference to the regime’s appointment of one if its loyalists as governor of the province)
– “The destruction of Chabahar residents’ homes is the accomplishment of the new Baluchistan governor”
– “The blood of the Baluch and their martyrs from Zahedan’s bloody Friday and Khash is still alive today”
– “The response to the execution of prisoners and killing of fuel carriers is uprising ”
– “The Sunni and Baluch governor whom Khamenei and Pezeshkian installed in Sistan-Baluchistan is theirs to keep”
– “The overthrow of this regime won’t come from the sky, so we must rise up”
– “Khamenei should know the response to executions is uprising”
The rebellious youth also carried out activities on the fortieth day after the tragic disaster at the Tabas coal mine, where 53 miners lost their lives and dozens more were injured, targeting the regime’s centers of repression and plunder across various cities, including:
– Explosion at a Basij base in Shiraz
– Explosion at the HQ of the Khomeini Foundation in Golpayegan
– Setting fire to three Basij bases in Tehran
– Setting fire to two Basij bases in Mashhad
– Setting fire to a poster of Qasem Soleimani in Shush
– Setting fire to banners of the regime’s proxy forces in Tehran, Karaj, and Ahvaz
In a situation where cries of protest from the oppressed, impoverished by poverty, rising prices, and empty tables, echo against the dark tyranny of the mullahs’ regime, and while the regime uses executions and terror to stop uprisings, the rebellious youth are sending the message that the only path to freedom is resistance and uprisings.
