While the number of COVID-19 victims continue to rise with each passing day and the regime refuses to provide any support for the people, Iranian regime President Hassan Rouhani literally resorted to threatening the population in his cabinet remarks on Wednesday. If people don\u2019t abide by health protocols local officials will have the authority to impose restrictions, Rouhani said. Iran Regime&#039;s Security Forces Gun Down 17-Year-Old The brave youth of Omidyeh in Khuzestan province confronted the Iranian regime\u2019s suppressive forces on Monday after the security forces tried to apprehend and carry away a young man. The security forces deliberately opened fire on the Omidyeh protesters, severely injuring 17-year-old youth. Omid Eydani died at the hospital hours later due to the severity of his injuries. In this regard, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of the Resistance of Iran said: \u201cHail to the courageous youth in Omidiyeh, Khuzestan, who charged at the suppressive security forces attempting to arrest a young man, forcing them to retreat and setting the young man free.\u201d Read More: https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IranNCR\/ https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy Subscribe to NCRI weekly newsletter t.ly\/MybJ\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><strong>******<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-protests-2019-update\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WHAT ARE THE IRAN PROTESTS OF 2019?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thursday, July 9, 2020, marks the 236<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0day since the beginning of the nationwide Iran protests.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\" rel=\"noopener\">People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a>\u00a0has identified 755 of the more than 1500 protesters killed by the regime so far.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs.\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Maryam Rajavi\u00a0<\/a>the President-elect of\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ncr-iran.org\/en\/alternative\" rel=\"noopener\">the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a>\u00a0has called on the United Nations to urgently send an international fact-finding mission to Iranian prisons to meet with the detainees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HIGHLIGHTS OF THE UPRISING:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Number of uprising cities:\u00a0<strong>191<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Number of martyrs: At least\u00a0<strong>1500<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Number of injured: More than\u00a0<strong>4,000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Number of detainees: More than\u00a0<strong>12,000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more<\/strong>:\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/latest-news-in-brief\/latest-news-in-brief-july-8-2020\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Latest News in Brief- July 8, 2020<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE CONTENT OF THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 9:30 PM CEST Maryam Rajavi: With the new wave of arrests &amp;
