In several areas, the demonstrators called for the ouster of the mullahs\u2019 regime and its supreme leader Ali Khamenei. The night rallies are taking place while the regime\u2019s security forces are on full alert to prevent potential protests following the sham presidential election. The Iranian society is on the verge of explosion and the regime is rallying all its might to prevent nationwide uprisings like those that happened in 2018 and 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/iran-power-outage-protests-20210706\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Video Report: Iranians Chant Against Khamenei During Blackout Protests Across Iran<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Iranians chant against Khamenei during blackout protests across Iran\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_9MA8Q6NRhEM\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F9MA8Q6NRhEM%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9MA8Q6NRhEM\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M20S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2021-07-06T16:13:31Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_9MA8Q6NRhEM\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F9MA8Q6NRhEM%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Iranians chant against Khamenei during blackout protests across Iran<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/9MA8Q6NRhEM\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F9MA8Q6NRhEM%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Iranians chant against Khamenei during blackout protests across Iran\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Iranians protested in several cities against unannounced extended blackouts in the past three days.
