\"Iranoppression\"<\/p>\n

As the anniversary of major Iran protests<\/a> in November 2019 approaches, the regime increases its oppressive measures to counter possible uprising. The Iranian regime\u2019s recent actions also reflect mullahs\u2019 fear of the restive Iranian society.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The state-run\u00a0<\/span>Mizan<\/span>, an outlet close affiliated to the regime\u2019s Judiciary, announced the creation of Tehran headquarters to counter activities by defiant youth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to promote public security and fight against insecurity, a headquarters will be established in the Public and Revolutionary Courts in Tehran,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Mizan<\/span>\u00a0wrote.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs [Ebrahim] Raisi\u2019s<\/a> [Judiciary chief] emphasized on dealing decisively with the miscreants and those harming the security of society and neighborhoods in Tehran, dealing with norm-breakers was put on the agenda. A meeting was held to coordinate and intensify countermeasures,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Mizan<\/span>\u00a0added, calling defiant\u00a0youths\u00a0norm-breakers.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the regime is engulfed in crisis, it desperately tries to control the restive Iranian society. Economic pressure and the covid-19 crisis, which are the regime\u2019s mismanagement products, have turned the Iranian society into a powder keg.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The state-run media outlets and officials have been warning each other of looming uprisings. Also, the regime\u2019s infightings have entered a new round. Last week, the regime\u2019s Members of Parliament from the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, faction threatened Hassan Rouhani, the regime\u2019s president, with execution.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is imperative that Iran\u2019s domestic, regional, and global strategy change. Given the current circumstances, there is no other way. The [society] struggle and [regime\u2019s] hostilities have made the situation unbearable for people,\u201d wrote state-run\u202f<\/span>Setare<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>Sobh<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(Morning Star)\u202f<\/span><\/i>on Saturday.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coronavirus outbreak and the regime deadlock\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

When the first covid-19 entered Iran, the Iranian regime, by cover-up and deception, used it to quell the restive society. Now, the coronavirus crisis has reached a point where even the regime has no control over it. Now mullahs fear the coronavirus outbreak and its rising death toll and subsequent increasing people\u2019s hatred and anger toward the regime.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
