State-run Newspaper Admits to Public Distrust of State Media

iran-mostaghel-newspaper-20092022-2

In a column that was published today, the state-run Mostaqel daily starts with questioning why the people of Iran do not believe the footage that was broadcasted by the state media, claiming that Mahsa Amini had a heart attack.

Mostaqel wrote: “There is nothing wrong with the people. These people who don’t believe the narrative of Mehsa Amini’s natural death are the same people who have not forgotten that our TV strongly denied the hypothesis of downing the Ukrainian passenger plane for an entire week and dozens of news, analysis, and experts tried to prove it was an accident.”

Even though the daily continued this writing with more lies, it partially admitted: “The root of this inability lies in the domination of the security perspective on the media, as well as some fundamental and theoretical contradictions at the level of the top management of broadcasting, which unfortunately still remains. In the complex world of the media, there is a war of narratives going on. Instead of standing by the people and reflecting on their demands, we are still thinking about censorship and the implementation of the protection plan (the regime’s plan to restrict the internet)! Is there a loss clearer than this?”

The Uprising in Iran Continues on Tuesday

Today, September 20, nationwide protests following the murder of Mahsa Amini continued in several cities in various provinces. According to reports and footage sent from inside Iran, merchants and vendors in Kurdistan province continued their strike and shops stayed closed despite state warnings and threats.

Today, wary of the uprising, the president of Tehran University announced that in-person classes will start in the third week of October and the courses will be virtual in the first two weeks of October. The official news agency IRNA had quoted Mohammad Moghimi, the head of Tehran University on September 18 that classes must be held in person.

Yesterday, several universities in Isfahan and Tehran, e.g. Sanati Sharif, Amir Kabir, Allameh Tabatabai, Tarbiat Moalem, Tarbiat Modares, the National University, and the University of Arts witnessed large protests, and students called for regime change and “Death to the dictator!”

State Official Warns That Protests Are Organized

Mohsen Mansouri, the Iranian regime’s governor of Tehran province posted some comments on Twitter that serve as a warning to the regime’s domestic follower base and is practically requesting a full-fledged crackdown.

He tweeted: “The core elements of the initial gatherings tonight in Tehran were completely organized, trained, and planned to create disturbances in Tehran. Burning the flag, pouring diesel on the roads, throwing stones, attacking the police, setting fire to the engine and garbage cans, destroying public property, etc. are not the work of ordinary people.”

Though the official’s warning sheds light on the regime’s true fears, it is worth noting that in previous uprisings, footage and evidence have been posted on social media that showed the regime’s security forces have been vandalizing public property to blame it on the protesters.

Maryam Rajavi: Giving Concessions to the Mullahs Is Tantamount To Siding With a Moribund Regime

regime-Iranians-supporters-Iranian-Resistance-Belgium-1024x683-1You have blocked the path for the mullahs who sought to take advantage of this law to establish their terrorist headquarters in the heart of Europe.

With your intensive campaign in 16 countries, you have challenged the West’s policy of appeasement. I pay tribute to your resistance, the most important anti-terrorist force in the world. They had conspired to secretly send the regime’s terrorist diplomat from prison in Belgium to the headquarters of crime and terrorism in the notorious Intelligence Ministry in Tehran. But you lifted the veil, overturned the dark rooms, and exposed their schemes.
