\"MEK,
November 2019 protests<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For more than four decades, the Iranian regime has used oppression to quell the society and hold its grip on power. Now, state-run media and officials acknowledge even their brutal oppression cannot stop people from overthrowing the regime.<\/p>\n

The regime\u2019s wrong economic policies, oppression and export and funding of terrorism by plundering the national wealth, and now the coronavirus outbreak with its rising death toll<\/a>, have turned the Iranian society into a powder keg. Despite the regime\u2019s brutality during the nationwide Iran protests in November, killing 1500 protesters, people poured onto the streets in January after the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)<\/a> shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet. Less than a month after these protests, the people\u2019s unprecedented boycott of the regime\u2019s sham parliamentary elections showed their conflict with the regime had reached an irreversible point.<\/p>\n

In this regard, the state-run Mardom Salari daily on September 1 wrote: \u201cThere is one issue which remains. Should we define the current situation as being in a deadlock? And is the only way out using harsh tools and methods, or we could keep up hope that situation would get better? The protest movements in 2018 and 2019 and the inappropriate manner of dealing with them are not good indicators in this regard. Obviously, harsh movements have many negative consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, the regime\u2019s oppression, instead of intimidating people, has increased people\u2019s hatred toward the mullahs\u2019 regime. In this regard, the state-run Mostaghel daily on September 2, while calling people\u2019s hatred toward the regime \u201chopelessness and distrust\u201d toward the regime, underlined that this is because of the regime\u2019s \u201cpast deeds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mostafa Moin, the regime\u2019s former Minister of Science, told the state-run Sharq daily on Tuesday that the public\u2019s hatred toward the entire regime has put officials in a situation that \u201cthey no longer have the self-confidence they once had. Their recklessness and choosing methods that intensify internal disputes have further narrowed the political and social atmosphere and put more pressure on student, labor, media and civil rights activists. People\u2019s protests are not just over the economic crisis. Most of them are because of [the regime\u2019s] inefficiency, dishonesty, bureaucratic and governmental corruption, inequality and distrust in the words and actions of the government and its officials.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Moin admitted, the Iranian society is an explosive situation. In this regard, Hassan Bayadi, one of the regime\u2019s experts, told the state-run Entekhab website on August 31: \u201cThere will be unexpected social-political incidents until the end of December. With respect to the [regime\u2019s] domestic recklessness, people have moved away from the factions, and they are not satisfied with the current situation. Previous discussions are no longer effective. Therefore, the analysis of existing problems should be fair, although in the occurrence of these problems, the role of gangs linked to power and wealth should not be overlooked. Unfortunately, like an octopus, they have infiltrated many important economic and political organizations, and some seemingly dignified human beings willingly or unwillingly are serving these gangs and are their perpetrators of oppression.\u201d<\/p>\n

By \u201cmoving away,\u201d Bayadi is referring to people\u2019s slogans in the 2018 and 2019 uprisings that \u201creformists, hardliners, the game is over.\u201d Meaning that people will no longer be deceived by the regime\u2019s maneuver of \u201creformism of reformists,\u201d no matter how much the regime\u2019s apologists outside of Iran push this narrative.<\/p>\n

These \u201cunexpected incidents\u201d have very much terrified the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. In this regard, in a meeting with his newly hand-picked Members of Parliament on July 12, Khamenei described the regime\u2019s grasp on power as \u201cthe most important issue of the country.\u201d He said: \u201cThe fourth year of governments, especially if it is their second term, is a very sensitive year, and usually in this year, if not taken care of, things will slow down. All governments are obliged to work until the last day. In the critical situation of the last year of the government and the first year of the parliament, these two powers should prevent anything from damaging the most important issue of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, as the Mostaghel daily wrote on July 13<\/a>: \u201cSoon people will come to their table for eating, and their despair of an empty table will lead them to protest on busy streets.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
