Iran’s nationwide uprising is entering its 225th day on Friday as the country’s industrial workers continue their strike in over 110 sites of 38 cities across 13 provinces.

 

 

The strike by workers of Iran’s oil, gas, petrochemical, steel, copper, and other critical industrial sites are causing significant damage to the mullahs’ regime and its sources of revenue. On Friday, brave people in the cities of Zahedan and Fanuj in Sistan & Baluchestan Province of southeast Iran launched anti-regime demonstrations following their weekly prayers. Demonstrators in Zahedan were rallying in large numbers and chanting anti-regime slogans, including “Khamenei is a murderer! His rule is illegitimate!” and “Khamenei, have some shame! Let go of the country!”

Demonstrators in Fanuj rallied in their streets and clashed with the regime’s security forces, according to local activists. In this town, regime security forces recently ran over four individuals and opened fire on the locals, leaving at least two killed and several injured. Regime security forces on Friday began responding to the crowd of demonstrators by using tear gas.

 

 

 

Iranian opposition President-elect Maryam Rajavi of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) praised the people of Zahedan and Fanuj who rose up against the mullahs’ dictatorship and continued their anti-regime demonstrations.

“I commend our Baluch compatriots who rose up today in Zahedan to honor the fallen in Fanuj. They expressed their determination to continue their uprising until Khamenei is overthrown and all of Iran is free. In Fanuj, young protesters demanded justice, chanting ‘My fallen brother, I will avenge your blood.’ They clashed with the repressive forces. The only way to liberate Iran and all Iranians is to rise up and overthrow the mullahs’ regime. The Iranian people’s democratic revolution shall triumph,” the NCRI President-elect explained.

 

 

In the cities of Tehran and Karaj, groups of women held protest gatherings on Friday prior to May 1st to mark International Workers’ Day. They raised placards reading different slogans, including “From our homes to the factories, from schools to the streets, we stand for women’s rights!” and “Political prisoners must be released!”

Taxi drivers in the city of Astara in northern Iran held a gathering on Thursday protesting to local authorities their poor conditions and how it is extremely difficult to make ends meet.

 

 

The strike and protests by Iranian industrial workers and citizens have continued for over seven months, and they are determined to continue until their demands are met. The international community must pay attention to their plight and support their struggle for democracy and human rights.
