From Tehran to Saravan, PMOI Resistance Units illuminate Iran on 45th anniversary of June 20 uprising
As the 45th anniversary of the June 20, 1981, uprising arrives, the world is once again witnessing the renewed vows of a new generation of Iranian fighters. June 20, recognized as the Day of Martyrs and Political Prisoners, also marks the anniversary of the founding of the National Liberation Army (NLA) of Iran in 198.
This historic date has sparked a nationwide surge across dozens of Iranian cities, proving that the flames of organized resistance against the ruling system are burning brighter and more defiantly than ever. While the bankrupt regime of the mullahs attempts to prevent a popular uprising by executing political prisoners, PMOI Resistance Units have turned cities across Iran into theaters of defiance against the regime.
Coordinated, symbolic, and promotional operations swept the country, starting from major metropolises like Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Shiraz, and extending to deprived border cities such as Saravan, Zahak, Baneh, and Sardasht.
Iran: Elderly Political Prisoner in Critical Condition in Evin Prison
Parvin Mirasan, an elderly political prisoner held in Evin Prison, is facing serious health complications and multiple medical conditions. Despite having approximately three months remaining from her prison sentence, her requests for conditional release and furlough leading to release have been denied.
Her physical condition is described as deeply concerning.
Ms. Mirasan suffers from Parkinson’s disease, and her cardiac problems have worsened in recent months. Severe joint pain, persistent tremors, and balance disorders have significantly limited her ability to walk and carry out daily activities.
She also suffers from diabetes and intestinal adhesion. Despite her deteriorating health and advanced age, authorities have not approved her requests for conditional release or furlough that would lead to her release.
Resistance Units Intensify Nationwide Campaign Across Iran Ahead of June 20 Anniversary of Revolutionary Resistance
Coordinated operations in more than 30 cities target IRGC, Basij, judiciary, propaganda centers, and regime symbols as Resistance Units commemorate the 45th anniversary of June 20, 1981 and the founding of the National Liberation Army of Iran.
In the days leading up to June 20, 1981—the 45th anniversary of Iran’s nationwide revolutionary resistance, the Day of Political Prisoners and Martyrs, and the anniversary of the founding of the National Liberation Army of Iran—Resistance Units carried out an extensive series of operations across the country.
The activities, reported from dozens of cities, targeted institutions associated with repression, ideological control, and security enforcement, while also promoting messages supporting democratic change and organized resistance against the ruling clerical establishment.
The operations ranged from attacks on Basij and IRGC facilities to actions against regime propaganda centers, the burning of symbols of the Supreme Leader, and widespread public displays of resistance slogans.
War Exposes the Fragility of Iran’s Aviation Sector After Decades of Regime Mismanagement
The Iranian regime’s decision to relocate 133 aircraft to what officials described as “safe airports” during the recent conflict has provided an unprecedented glimpse into the vulnerability of the country’s civil aviation sector.
While Iranian authorities have portrayed the operation as a successful emergency response, aviation experts argue that it instead reveals the extent to which decades of mismanagement, international isolation, and chronic underinvestment have left one of the country’s most critical transportation industries exposed to crisis.
The latest admissions by senior aviation officials suggest that the recent war did not simply damage airports and aircraft—it exposed structural weaknesses that had been accumulating for years beneath the surface.
Abolfazl Shiroudi, head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization, announced that authorities carried out 133 aircraft relocations from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini and Mehrabad airports after the outbreak of hostilities.
He also confirmed that 36 permits were issued allowing aircraft to be transferred and stationed at foreign airports, with part of the evacuation plan successfully implemented.
Tehran’s Water Crisis Deepens as Years of Mismanagement Collide with Drought
Tehran, home to more than 15 million people in its greater metropolitan area, is facing one of the most severe water crises in its history. While officials blame declining rainfall and climate change, experts increasingly point to decades of poor governance, unsustainable development, and failed water management policies by the Iranian regime as the primary drivers of a disaster that now threatens the country’s political, economic, and environmental stability.
The warning signs have been visible for years. Yet instead of addressing the structural causes of water scarcity, authorities have relied on temporary measures, expensive water-transfer projects, and repeated calls for public conservation. Today, six consecutive years of drought have exposed the limits of those policies.
Hossein Akbariyan, managing director of Tehran Water and Wastewater Company Region One, announced that Tehran is experiencing its sixth consecutive year of drought.
Although rainfall during the current year has improved compared to the previous year, precipitation remains below long-term averages. More importantly, last year was reportedly the driest water year in more than six decades, leaving the reservoirs supplying Tehran with critically low reserves at the beginning of the current cycle.

Gothenburg: MEK Supporters Mark 125th Week of “No to Execution Tuesdays” Across 56 Iranian Prisons
Gothenburg, Sweden — June 16, 2026: Supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) held a rally to mark the 125th consecutive week of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign, a movement protesting the Iranian regime’s escalating executions and systemic repression. Protesters condemned the recent execution of political prisoners and demonstrators arrested during the January 2026 uprising.
