On Thursday, January 8, the 12th day of the nationwide uprising, cities across the country witnessed widespread clashes and brave acts by rebellious youths. During a confrontation with repressive forces who had opened fire on protesters, Shahin Dehghan, a criminal colonel in the State Security Force (SSF) in Malard, and Hassan Faramarzi, a criminal IRGC commander in Lordegan, were killed.

In Tehran’s Sattar Khan district, clashes between rebellious youths and repressive forces resulted in six special unit vehicles and cars belonging to Basij members being set on fire. In Nasimshahr, intense clashes with the special unit were ongoing. Meanwhile, in Fardis, Karaj, clashes intensified, and rebellious youths set government symbols ablaze.

In Isfahan province, rebellious youths took control of parts of Fouladshahr and Yazdanshahr, blocking streets with burning barricades. In Najafabad, after special unit forces assaulted a popular demonstration, rebellious youths retaliated by attacking their gathering with Molotov cocktails, causing them to disperse.

On Seyeddi Street in Mashhad, motorcycles and vehicles belonging to the special unit and the SSF were set on fire after being used to attack a popular gathering. In Shiraz (in the Ahmadi neighborhood, Sajjadiyeh town, and Bani Hashemi) and Darab, Fars province, youths blocked the regime’s reinforcement routes by setting fires and burned SSF motorcycles. In Andimeshk, rebellious youths clashed with savage members of the special unit, blocked streets to prevent regime reinforcements, and destroyed surveillance cameras.

In Gilan province, the courageous youths of Langroud seized the regime’s governor’s office in a daring attack, and in Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh, an SSF vehicle was set on fire.
