More people are taking to the streets as they are finding it extremely difficult to make ends meet, especially as the national currency, the rial, has plunged in value against the U.S. dollar. Protests in Iran have to this day expanded to at least 282 cities. Over 750 people have been killed and more than 30,000 are arrested by the regime’s forces, according to sources of Iranian oppositionPeople’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The names of 664 killed protesters have been published by the MEK.

 

Freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the opposition PMOI/MEK rallied in Brussels on Monday for a large demonstration calling on the European Union to designate the regime’s IRGC as a terrorist organization, close the mullahs’ embassies in the Green Continent, and expel the regime’s agents from their soil.

 

 

In reports from the city of Ardabil in northwest Iran, courageous protesters attacked a building of the regime’s so-called “Foundation of Martyrs and Altruists” on Sunday night. The attack involved a major explosion as the Iranian people accuse this and other such regime institutions of taking advantage and harassing the families of victims and those left disabled by the 1980s Iran-Iraq war.

In news from Khuzestan Province, pensioners and retirees of the regime’s Social Security Organization in the cities of Ahvaz, Shush, and Shushtar of southwest Iran were rallying on Sunday and protesting high prices, poverty, corruption, inflation, poor living conditions, and officials’ refusal to address their demands.

 

 

In Ahvaz, the provincial capital of Khuzestan, the protesters were chanting: “Our enemy is right here! They lie in saying it’s America!” The ongoing protests and economic crisis have highlighted the discontent and frustration felt by the Iranian people. The regime’s policies have created immense hardship for ordinary citizens, who have been unable to provide for their families and have suffered as a result. The protests have been met with a violent crackdown by security forces, with hundreds of people killed and thousands more arrested.

Iranian opposition President-elect Maryam Rajavi of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) welcomed the new Iranian calendar new year, Nowruz, by hailing protesters inside the country and calling for an escalating anti-regime campaign.

 

 

“As the tick-tock of the clock synchronizes with the turn of the New Year, the resolute footsteps of protesters reflect a people determined to topple the yoke of religious tyranny. On this momentous occasion, we extend our heartfelt felicitations to the valiant people, who ardently seek to usher in the spring of freedom and pave the way for a new Iran, brimming with joy and prosperity,” Mrs, Rajavi said.
