Iran and Rojhilat'ta 'gasoline rebellion' continues. The regime cut telephone and internet lines, while Spay Pastaran and Khamenei's representatives threatened the demonstrators.
The popular uprising that started last Friday after the increase in oil prices in Iran and spread to all of Iran's 31 provinces and Rojhilat in a short time has not stopped.
The Iranian regime has cut internet lines but since yesterday morning has also cut landlines to avoid news of what is going on to be spread abroad and also to avoid communication among the demonstrators in different cities and regions.
New cities joined the protests
Despite the regime repression new cities in Zencan, Simnan, Hemedan joined the demonstrations.
No communication makes it difficult to have information
The main problem with having no internet and no phones, i.e. no communication is that it is impossible to have information, also as to how many demonstrators have been killed and wounded so far.
It was learned that the Iranian security forces used real bullets but there are conflicting information on the number of dead, wounded and detainees.
According to some sources, more than 30 people have been killed, a thousand people have been injured and 6 thousand people have been detained in the demonstrations. According to other sources, the number of dead is over 200, the number of wounded exceeded 3 thousand. Only in the city of Meriwan in Rojhilat Kurdistan, 12 people were killed and 60 injured.
Threats from regime forces
The Iranian regime has began to work in order to find solutions to the demonstrations. While the Iranian Parliament decided to convene and discuss the unrest, statements from representatives of military and semi-military civilian forces and executives have been issued threatening demonstrators.
The Spay Pastaran forces known as Revolutionary Guards said in a statement that "foreign powers" are behind the demonstrations in Iran, and argued that the United States, Israel and the family of the deposed Iranian Shah Reza Pahlavi are involved. The statement stressed that Spay Pastaran's forces were ready to act with the security forces to suppress demonstrations.
A threat against demonstrators also came from Ayatollah Lutfullah Dejkam, the Iranian religious leader Ali Khamenei's representative. "If the Fars State Security Council fails to stop the demonstrators tomorrow, we will go to the streets in Shiraz with militia forces (Besic)," Dejdam said.
According to the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA), Dejkam also think that the demonstrations are fed from outside.
A good indicator of seriousness/desperation, is when the regime flies in units of foreign thugs to beat and kill domestic protestors. They have done this before with some of their foreign surrogate militias, like Hizbollah from Lebanon, when unrest got hot in Iran.
I’m hoping that Americans find the courage to fight like a lot of people around the world are doing now. It’s the ONLY thing tyranny understands.
Yes, I remember 2009 when it was more than hot.
You are correct. Evil like the ComDems, only responds to force. They are not bridled by any other belief.
Worst domestic violence in Iran, since the Green Revolution in 2009. Some number of security forces have been killed, and a hundred banks burned.
The supreme leader designated it a security situation, rather than social unrest, unleashing a widespread use of lethal force.
Riots started on Friday, when 50% price hikes on gas were enacted. Both the supreme leader and Rouhani announced on Wednesday that they had restored calm, but Internet was still out, and some number of events continue.
The Government claims that they arrested dual-national provocateurs (German, Afghan, etc.) trained by foreign governments, and equipped with sabotage devices.
(Good time for the Saudis to take revenge for Iranian attacks on their oil infrastructure.)
Both Lebanon and Iraq, where the Iranian regime operates their main foreign surrogate militias, are undergoing major protests against Iranian interference.
Jefferson understood the struggle.
Thanks for info.
Perspective on this is hard to deal with when there is little outside communication.
There are always some that continues, but Iran is not easy even in good situations.
[Even with their part time hired muscle, the regime is far outnumbered by the population. If people start individually attacking the regime personnel themselves, instead of clustering together into crowds for focused oppression.]
The time to start killing the regime members is here, or it is getting close.
While Iran and Hong Kong struggle to throw off their chains, our politicians are in the circus clown car doing nothing.
Bttt.

Our ComDems are trying to forge our chains now.
It is our duty to deal with them.
