IRGC Is Expanding in the Iranian Kurdistan Region

iran-kurdistan-irgc-base-Copy

According to reports from the city of Sheno, Kurdistan province, the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards Force is cooperating with the governor as well as officials from Urmia province to build a base for its troops near the village of Deh Shams. The IRGC has asked the locals for their land and upon resistance, it has threatened it will confiscate their property with or without their consent.

Locals say the IRGC has been trying to militarize Kurdistan since April, by establishing military bases in most of the villages of that area, including Singan, Hassan Nouran, and Narziveh. Its forces are constantly asking the citizens for land and cooperation and have caused public dissatisfaction.

Meanwhile, in the village of Rash Gund and the village of Aliavi, the IRGC has hired local mercenaries and has established a Basij base in the mosque of these villages.

According to reports from Abadan, last night, as the regime desperately was trying to take control over the public outrage in the city, things took a radical turn.

Following the collapse of the Metropol Complex and protests spreading to more than a dozen other provinces, the regime that had previously forbidden media coverage of the incident changed strategy and tried to control the situation by announcing “a national day of mourning” and organizing an “official ceremony”.

After broadcasting verses of the Quran, playing the regime’s anthem and some music, the regime’s member of the parliament from Abadan, Mohsen Heydari, was supposed to conduct a speech. But the people prevented the MP by applauding and chanting slogans while attacking the stage on which the IRIB camera set was installed and lowering the camera.

The live broadcast of the ceremony was also interrupted during the speech of Abdul Hossein Ghabishawi, Khamenei’s representative in Abadan as the people started shouting and chanting slogans against him.

As the people of Abadan continued to demonstrate on Sunday evening, a group of Arab tribes from other parts of Khuzestan entered the city, holding their flags high and carrying weapons, warning the state of any violence against the people.
