\"Tehran02\"On Monday, protests erupted in Tehran<\/strong> <\/a>with people chanting slogans such as \u201cdown with the dictator.\u201d<\/p>\n

But how these protests started, and what do they indicate?<\/p>\n

The power outage in the Aladdin Mobile Market was the starting point for these protests. Slogans rapidly became political, denouncing the entire regime and targeting the mullahs\u2019 supreme leader Ali Khamenei<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These protests shocked the regime\u2019s security forces.\u00a0The protesters walked from the Istanbul Crossroad to Baharestan street, where the regime\u2019s parliament is located.<\/p>\n

Footages<\/strong><\/a> from Iran showed young protesters walking side by side without fearing the oppressive forces and were chanting slogans against the regime and calling for unity. They urged other citizens to join their protest.<\/p>\n

They also chanted, \u201cIf the mullahs\u2019 are not buried, Iran won\u2019t prosper,\u201d showing the only solution to Iran\u2019s crises is the regime\u2019s downfall. The regime had not recovered from the protests in Tehran that people in Kermanshah, northwest Iran, rose and clashed with Khamenei\u2019s forces. At night, the protesters in Karaj, near Tehran, poured on the streets expressing their solidarity with other risen cities, particularly Khuzestan, where the protests originally began.<\/p>\n

They chanted: \u201cFrom Karaj to Khuzestan, unity, unity,\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid, we are all together,\u201d and \u201cWe would die but won\u2019t accept humiliation.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, 12 days after the protests began in Khuzestan, other cities joined calls for regime change. Reports and footage from Iran in the last two days showed more protests in other Iranian cities.<\/p>\n

These protests would continue to spread across Iran because the society is restive and ready to explode. After 42 years of the mullah\u2019s oppression, corruption, and plundering of the national wealth, the Iranian society has reached the boiling point. The regime\u2019s oppressive measures would no longer affect Iran\u2019s explosive society.<\/p>\n

The recent protests in Tehran and Karaj showed that even if a small group of people starts protests, others rapidly join them, calling for regime change.<\/p>\n

As Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/strong><\/a>, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said: \u201cThe young protesters in Tehran display the Iranian people\u2019s firm resolve to establish democracy and national sovereignty. The sacrifices of martyrs in Khuzestan now echoes in the cries of \u2018Death to the dictator\u2019 in Tehran\u2019s central streets, near Khamenei\u2019s headquarters. The uprising carries on for the 12th day showing that the henchman of the #1988Massacre cannot save Khamenei from his certain demise.\u201d<\/p>\n
