NCRI –\u00a0The Iranian Regime is on thin ice and they know it, as demonstrated by the protests that were seen all over Iran on Tuesday night, during the national Fire Festival, and the Regime\u2019s brutal response to it.<\/p>\n
These large anti-regime rallies suggest that the Iranian people will not be giving in, no matter what the Regime does, until they\u2019ve realised their ultimate objective of regime change. These protests have brought together the Iranian people \u2013 no matter their gender, class, job, or religion \u2013 to rise up against the mullahs and they will remain united in this effort.<\/p>\n
From women demanding equal rights, to farmers opposing the wilful destruction of their crops, to religious minorities demanding their right to practice their faith, all of these valid and worthy protests are snowballing together, which is why the Regime has been sending in the troops.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the Iranian police reported that they were using \u201c5,000 officers, 10 million accomplices, 1,100 traffic police vehicles, 27,000 special police patrols, installing 1,330 police trailers, 3,770 patrol vehicles, 2010 motorcycle patrols, 2,900 on-foot patrols, 1,700 temporary inspection centers, 104 permanent inspection centers and 30 helicopters\u201d to suppress the protests.<\/p>\n
Scared of the people<\/p>\n
That would be a massive overreaction if the Regime wasn\u2019t scared to death of being overthrown by its people, and yes, the so-called moderates in the Regime almost certainly approve of these measures.<\/p>\n
In February, Iranian opposition leader Maryam Rajavi foretold that the protest movement would continue until they get regime change and noted that the Regime knows that it is incapable of containing it.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThe wall of fear has been cracked, and nothing including arrests, killings and torture can prevent the advancement of the protests to overthrow the regime.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Iranian Resistance, including the National Council of Resistance of Iran and the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), are supporting and encouraging the protesters and it is working. Tuesday\u2019s protests were largely the result of a call from the MEK to attend in spite of the Regime\u2019s threats.<\/p>\n
The West\u2019s role<\/p>\n
The West has recently begun to acknowledge the threat posed by Iran\u2019s ballistic missiles, but how long will it take them to realise that the Iranian people want regime change?<\/p>\n
