“In response, the Islamic Regime has ordered ALL offices, private or public in 18 Provinces - out of some 25 or so, (which seem to change from time to time) - approximately “States” in the USA - to be closed down from on Saturday.”
Good, the gov’t is doing the strikers’ job for them. Closing everything should only add to the aggravation of the general populace who will loathe their government even more. Nice going Mullahs, have the populace totally loathe you. This will be seen by the vast majority as yet another repressive ploy by the religious Mullah led gov’t, and at some time in the future, this gov’t will be overthrown, unless Israel or the USA finally bomb Iran’s nuke facilities. Either way, tyrannies never last forever.
As long as it isn’t turned against the strikers.
