Iranian Protests

Iranians love their country. The regime just needs to give reforms and listen to the youth. By imprisoning, torturing them the problem will not go away. But knowing the regime they will not listen to the youth and pursue their own interests. When things become worse they will have themselves to blame.

Nothing will stay the same, the merciless cycle of life gets changed with every generation. Just a matter of time.
 
How many threads and pages of spam are we gonna get from a single topic?

You can make 10 more threads repeating the same videos from different angles, showing highly edited clips where the only portion you see is the police reaction. And nothing before or after

Protests in the west are 1000x worse. For the crisis in cost of living, to the absolute incompetence of their politicL class. their media has a total blackout on that, and has focused 10000 cameras on half a dozen Iranian dumbasses

I am really proud of Iran. Our country will never let these feminist with undercut hair trash, lgbtq+feces, climate religion/cult, and all the other vomit inducing western cultural trash and propaganda infest our country

New propaganda theme of the west is the heavy use of children. They are extremely dumb and easy to manipulate, while also being a protected class since they are kids. Thats where you get freaks like greta thunberg. While they demand you take her words as absolute orders, you are not allowed to criticize her views, as you would be seen as a child abuser!!
(There is a reason kids arent allowed to vote or make big decisions, their brains have literally not fully developed)

It cant get any lower then western tactics. They wont even leave little children alone
 
A bit of history for these Arab worshipping Mullahs from a guy who saw the anti- shah revolution first hand..

Few weeks before the fall of the Shah he finally came on TV and made a speech..He said "My people ..I have heard your voices!!!o_O..blah blah blah." Did not end well for him

I hope some of the patriotic Mullahs! (yes.. there are some) will remember that speech and take note..I hate to see Supreme Leader having to make the same speech again ( SL is a patriotic Iranian but he just can not see that Iran has moved forward two generation ahead of him ..83 year olds should not run a country).:undecided:

There is still time for Mullahs to change course...so lets hope they see the light
 
He's not wrong here, to be honest. The under 18s participating in the riots are largely simps raised on pornography and video games who think they'll get laid by joining "le wimminz cause".

The Islamic Republic shot itself in the foot by encouraging women to join universities en masse. Instead, they should have been reared to be homemakers but to present themselves as "developed", they raised a generation of entitled careerist bitches.

Consequence is, when you place a woman on the exact same pedestal as a man, she wants all the perks of being a man too, only to the detriment of womanhood.
Afghanistan is following your idea. You can move there.
 
Worry about your Pakistan, boy and go peddle instructions to those who care. I don't tell you how to run your house and I don't want advice from you either.
No one can tell anyone to do anything here. It was a suggesting for you based on your stupid beliefs. Aren't taliban doing exactly what you want from women?

I'm speaking on affairs relating to my ethnic brethren. What business is it of yours, you vile cunt?

The taliban take it to another extreme. I want a middle path that doesn't turn Iranian women into ignorant bell-ends but at the same time doesn't turn them into clones of western feminists either.
 
I Know the fan boys of the regime have tried to hide the discussion about the atrocities being committed by the regime's enforcers against unarmed civilians, but there is a simple question.These protests just do not seem to be subsiding anytime soon. Even if they manage to shut it down by wholesale slaughter of unarmed civilians, the fire under ashes will remain lit. In what country will the masses support a system that its law enforcement just smash the windows of a car sitting in traffic in broad day light?


Just fire live rounds in the direction of protestors?
Rape and murder a 17 year old?

These are the telltale signs of a regime breathing its last. A rigid regime like this is not meant to last.

Looks like I made you lose your balance 😂 Another deranged mullah supporter who can't live under them.
 
I got it what makes you so rabid. You moved from one shithole to another 😏
Cease smiling. The problem you ran from is going to hit your island refuge's shores too.

Surf's up! Tide's bringing in a lot of south asians to shit your neighbourhood up soon, KEK.
 
Shut up, you stupid cuck. You babble absolute bull-fucking-shit with your head and nose buried in the clouds.

If women are working 8 hours a day, who's going to attend to the children? As you already see in the riots, absolute brats are out on the streets because neither the mother nor the father had time for them or took interest in their lives.

This is one of the reasons Iranian fertility fell - "muh dokhtar has to study and land a good job to find a wealthy husband and move abroad".
if women and men don't work for 10 hours a day who provide for the children in a lower or middle income family who provide for the house rent ?that alone is enough to consume all of one of the couples income. for gods sake first think then talk nonsense
and try to clean your vocabulary

Then who told you to go the nuclear middle class family route like a bunch of donkeys? You all want to pile up in the capital instead of branching out into the countryside or second tier cities and building new towns.

Conglomerate in one space and drive up prices - I'm sure it will get easier.

Iran may be preparing to escalate militarily against its foreign adversaries, including the US, in response to the ongoing, anti-regime protests.
Likely Iranian-backed militants conducted a rocket attack against a US military base in northeastern Syria on October 8. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other senior political and security officials have accused the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia of coopting and stoking the protests in recent days.[1] Senior Iranian military officers released a statement vowing to retaliate on October 6.[2] Iranian forces or proxies may conduct additional attacks against US positions in the Middle East, especially in Iraq and Syria, in response to what they claim is Washington’s role in the protests.
Iranian proxies may also escalate against Turkey to redirect Iraqi resentment over Iranian attacks into Iraqi Kurdistan toward Ankara rather than Tehran. Likely Iranian-backed Iraqi militants conducted a rocket attack on a Turkish military base in Mosul Province on October 8.[3] Liwa Ahrar al Iraq—a front group that Iranian-backed Iraqi militants use to claim attacks against Turkish forces —claimed responsibility. Iranian-backed Iraqi militants frequently used Liwa Ahrar al Iraq to claim attacks against Turkish positions during a period of escalatory attacks in June and July 2022.[4] The Iraqi public and political establishment rallied against Turkey and its attacks into Iraqi Kurdistan during this period. Liwa Ahrar al Iraq resurfacing to claim attacks on Turkish forces may indicate that Iran and its proxies are preparing to escalate against Turkish forces and seek to again divert Iraqi citizens’ and officials’ anger toward Ankara rather than Tehran.
Iran may be preparing to conduct a ground incursion into Iraqi Kurdistan to attack anti-regime Kurdish militant groups operating there. The IRGC Ground Forces conducted daily artillery, drone, and missile attacks against Kurdish militants in Iraqi Kurdistan from September 26 to October 7.[5] An IRGC-affiliated social media account tweeted on October 8 threatening that IRGC armored and special forces units would intervene against these militant groups if Iraqi Kurdish political authorities do not remove these groups from the border region.[6] IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency echoed this threat on October 9.[7] Social media rumors on October 9 alleged that the IRGC has begun concentrating forces in Baneh, Kurdistan Province near the Iran-Iraq border.[8] CTP is unable to corroborate those rumors at this time.
Key Takeaways
  • Anti-regime protests occurred in at least 18 cities in 15 provinces.
  • Anti-regime group The Neighborhood Youth of Tehran announced their expansion to other unnamed cities in Iran.
  • Some low-level military and security personnel may have defected.
  • Iranian leadership may have ordered the IRGC Ground Forces to participate directly in the protest crackdown.

Anti-Regime Protests
Anti-regime protests occurred in at least 18 cities in 15 different provinces on October 9.
Protest activity on October 9 declined somewhat from its October 8 peak. Protesters nevertheless sustained large-scale demonstrations without evident advanced planning—unlike the preplanned October 8 protests—and despite the regime’s increasingly violent suppression tactics. The October 9 protests continued to feature a broad swath of the Iranian population, including marginalized ethnic groups, urban elite, students, and Iran’s merchant class.
CTP assesses with high and medium confidence that protests occurred in the following locations:
  • Karak, Alborz Province
  • Najafabad, Esfahan Province
  • Gorgan, Golestan Province
  • Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province (violence reported)
  • Kermanshah, Kermanshah Province
  • Mashhad, Khorasan Razavi Province
  • Saghez, Kurdistan Province (violence reported)
  • Sanandaj, Kurdistan Province (violence reported)
  • Arak, Markazi Province
  • Qazvin, Qazvin Province
  • Tehran, Tehran Province
  • Mahabad, West Azerbaijan Province
  • Zanjan, Zanjan Province
CTP assesses with low confidence that protests occurred in the following locations:
  • Rasht, Gilan Province
  • Yasuj, Kohgiluyeh and Boyed Ahmad Province
  • Babol, Mazandaran Province (violence reported)
  • Bukan, West Azerbaijan Province
  • Piranshahr, West Azerbaijan Province

Anti-regime group The Neighborhood Youth of Tehran announced its expansion to other unnamed cities in Iran.[9] The group has participated in organizing protests in recent weeks.
Some low-level Iranian military and security personnel may have defected to the protesters. A Persian-language social media account tweeted on October 8 that the regime has arrested some officers from the Artesh Ground Forces 21st Hamzeh Infantry Division, which is headquartered near Tabriz.[10] Videos on social media depict LEC officers marching with protesters around Tehran on October 9.[11] CTP cannot verify the authenticity of these videos nor whether the officers were joining the protests or simply escorting them. Parliamentarian and former IRGC officer Brigadier General Mohammad Esmail Kowsari stated that the regime should hold accountable security personnel who do not fulfill their duties, suggesting that there are such personnel.[12]
Iranian leadership may have ordered the IRGC Ground Forces to support the protest crackdown directly. Protesters killed a member of the IRGC Ground Forces 22nd Beyt ol Moghaddas Operational Division in Sanandaj on October 8.[13] Iranian state media reported that the guardsmen was killed while trying to disperse protesters and protect property. Another guardsman was injured. An unverified social media account tweeted that the IRGC Ground Forces deployed the 27th Mohammad Rasoul Ollah Operational Division and 10th Seyyed ol Shohada Operational Division in Tehran.[14]
The deployment of the IRGC Ground Forces would indicate that the regime considers the protests an extremely serious threat. The IRGC Ground Forces is the regime’s last line of defense against internal unrest and the most prominent internal security service after the Law Enforcement Command (LEC) and Basij Organization.[15]
The IRGC Ground Forces would likely use extreme force to suppress protests. IRGC Ground Forces units are equipped with armored and mechanized vehicles and the full panoply of equipment suitable for insurgency, counterinsurgency, and mechanized war. The regime used the IRGC Ground Forces briefly during the countrywide gasoline protests in November 2019. These forces deployed to Mahshahr, Khuzestan Province, where they killed around 148 protesters.[16] The deployment of elements of multiple IRGC Ground Forces divisions, if confirmed, would indicate that the regime has grown very alarmed about its ability to control the ongoing demonstrations and may suggest that it is preparing to use greater levels of brutality to suppress them.
Radio Farda reported that forces from the LEC Special Units transferred from Zahedan to Kerman.[17] The LEC Special Units is a highly trained, anti-riot force that deploys when regular police cannot contain protests.[18] This LEC branch is known as one of the most ideologically fervent in the Iranian armed forces. A regime decision to deploy the LEC Special Units away from Zahedan would be surprising given the recent deadly unrest there and explicit threats from anti-regime militant groups to escalate further. The IRGC Ground Forces could deploy its 110th Salman Farsi Independent Special Forces Brigade, which is headquartered in Zahedan, to suppress protests in place of the LEC Special Units if it felt the situation merited such force.[19]
A popular English-language social media account tweeted that the Office of the Supreme Leader dismissed some of its security personnel and replaced them with a new cadre of officials.[20] CTP cannot verify this rumor.

People use this word "mullahs" quite loosely, and often in a way that does not reflect reality.

To begin with, in Iran the clerical body as such is not in power. A majority of clerics do not even partake in political affairs.

Sure , no mullahs in power. Aren't you forgetting someone ?

I am talking about the elephant in the room :

This Ayatollah person :
