UPDATE: 11:00 PM CEST<\/strong><\/p>\n Iran Uprising at a Glance \u2013 Day 22<\/strong><\/p>\n Partially based on reporting by PMOI (MEK) Social Headquarters in Iran<\/p>\n The Count:<\/span><\/p>\n Latest<\/span><\/p>\n As the Iran Uprising against the religious dictatorship continues into its fourth week, the sheer courage, outrage, and defiance of Iran\u2019s younger generation have rocked the political spectrum inside Iran and around the world. The slogans of the protesters and their audacious calls for fundamental change have forced the regime and its loyalists on their back foot.<\/p>\n The regime has launched a total Internet blackout and a brutal crackdown that has not gone well with Iranian youth and the general population fighting back to safeguard their lives and their loved ones.<\/p>\n Iran\u2019s so-called \u201cmoderates\u201d, always a safety valve for the regime, have been side-lined during the current crisis, and have been all but forgotten as neither the regime\u2019s hardcore nor the protesters consider them a serious force. Their spokesman in the \u201cReform Front\u201d, Abolfazl Shakouri-Rad lamented that a bipolar situation has taken shape in Iran and his faction has been left out of the political struggle led by the uprising for regime change.<\/p>\n \u201cReformists cannot do anything but sit on the fence and watch what is going on,\u201d he said in an interview with the sympathetic Fararu website, adding that \u201cthe two main players in the bipolar game are fighting each other at the expense of the society. In the meantime, we Reformists do not know what is happening, and what the future is going to look like… The younger generation no longer believes in us and because of that we have been marginalized in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n The bewilderment of the regime\u2019s apologists inside the country (so-called reformists) goes hand in hand with the shock of the establishment (Ali Khamenei and his hardcore loyalists), as both are in a state of denial about the simmering revolution before their eyes.<\/p>\n Iran\u2019s Generation Z is in a fighting mood and will no longer take it. The world too has begun to recognize and support their aspiration for change and their right to legitimate defense against a brutal crackdown by a religious fascist regime.<\/p>\n Yesterday\u200e\u200e, on the 21st day of the uprising, people in different parts of Tehran, including Amirabad, the eastern region of Tehran, Tajrish, Gheytarieh, Valiasr, Mashriyeh, Amir Bahador, and Heravi Square, chanted slogans of Death to Dictator and Death to Khamenei.<\/p>\n \u200eThe cities of Isfahan, Mashhad, Islamshahr, Azimieh, Parand and Mehrshahr, Karaj, Gohardasht, Rasht, Urmia, Sanandaj, Shiraz, and Qom witnessed nightly demonstrations and continuous car horns in support of the protesters.\u200e<\/p>\n \u200eOn Thursday, students demonstrated in Tehran, Bukan, and Parand, chanting Death to Dictator.\u200e<\/p>\n October 7 – Tehran, #Iran<\/a> — People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) October 7, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
