These measures took place while the regime\u2019s State Security Forces and other security organs were on high alert. The entrance to the IRGC\u2019s paramilitary Bassij, so-called Thamen al-A\u2019ameh, and symbols of the notorious Ministry of Intelligence and Security and the IRGC were torched in Tehran. Defiant youth targeted the regime\u2019s judiciary in the cities of Marvdasht in Shiraz, torching the entrances. The judiciary branch has issued death sentences and long prison terms for young people and protesters. In the city of Sabzevar, defiant youth set fire to posters of the regime\u2019s former and current supreme leaders Ruhollah Khomeini and Ali Khamenei, while in the city of Izeh, they destroyed a poster of the now dead terrorist mastermind Qassem Soleimani. Iran: Coronavirus Death Toll Surpasses 155,500 in 465 Cities Over 155,500 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 465 cities checkered across all of Iran\u2019s 31 provinces, according to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition People&#039;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran as of Sunday afternoon local time. The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 41,493 nearly a fourth of the actual figure. \u201cAccording to Health Ministry officials, there is a possibility that we may soon reach 1,000 Covid-19 deaths per day,\u201d said the Tehran City Council chief on Sunday. \u201cIn the National Covid-19 Task Force where the President has the final word it is not clear who is against a complete shutdown. Maybe it would be better for the Task Force spokesperson to be more transparent in this regard,\u201d he added, according to the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the Revolutionary Guards Quds Force.
