In recent days, two IRGC Basij bases were targeted in the cities of Yazd and Joveyn, in south-central and northeastern Iran, respectively. The signs and entrances of these bases were torched, sending meaningful messages to the regime\u2019s security forces. The Basij are the most hated suppressive paramilitary force inside Iran and a subsidiary of the terrorist designated IRGC. Its main role is to preserve the mullahs\u2019 rule through the crackdown of protests and demonstrations, such as the nationwide November 2019 uprising. Iran: Coronavirus Fatalities in 440 Cities Surpass 108,200 The People&#039;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran announced on September 23, that the number of Coronavirus fatalities in 440 cities had exceeded 108,200. The regime officials admit Isfahan&#039;s critical situation. &quot;1278 Coronavirus patients are hospitalized in Isfahan, and 216 are in the ICU. The hospitals are almost full, and private, charitable, and non-governmental hospitals need to be added. The number of fatalities has increased from 10 to 30 daily. Khomeini Shahr hospitals are full,&quot; the official ISNA news agency reported on Wednesday.
