Anti-government protests stretch across Iran, and people\u2019s calls for regime change continue to increase despite the mullahs\u2019 heavy crackdown. <\/span>Whether in metropolises or rural areas and villages, the voice of dissent and people chanting \u201cdeath to the dictator\u201d<\/a> are loud and clear.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Much like its predecessors, the current uprising is widespread. Yet, its rapid spread to 156 cities in just 12 days is unprecedented.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the regime\u2019s heavy crackdown and killing of nearly 250 protesters<\/a>, courageous Iranians continue resisting the oppressive forces and target its centers of repression and plundering.\u00a0 Protests continued into the night on Tuesday despite the regime dispatching many Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), paramilitary Basij, and plainclothes agents, as well as disrupting internet connections as they have done it daily.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Protests erupted in Iran following Mahsa Amini\u2019s murder<\/a> by the regime\u2019s so-called morality police. Mahsa\u2019s name has been trending on social media platforms. Her innocent face in the hospital symbolized the Iranian women\u2019s plight under the ruling misogyny.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ongoing protests are demographically unique, showcasing national solidarity among all Iranians, regardless of their ethnic, religious, and socio-economic differences. They all have one goal: \u201ctoppling Iran\u2019s ruling theocracy,\u201d and as they have chanted, they \u201cwill not return home\u201d until they \u201cstart a revolution.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The circumstances for a revolution are in place in #Iran<\/a>. Despite the disease, our people displayed their outrage repeatedly during riots in prisons, social protests, the strike of workers, teachers and educators, retirees and pensioners, students, farmers and bazaar merchants. pic.twitter.com\/LimlqNkTE9<\/a><\/p>\n
