The uprising continues<\/a> to rage across Iran despite the systematic and brutal crackdown. The prospects for <\/span>the clerical regime\u2019s downfall become stronger as protesters are not yielding to any pressure. As people call out the regime in its entirety, the mullahs engage in <\/span>propaganda to divide and quash the united national front.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Labeling<\/a> the protesters \u201cElements of western governments\u201d has become so clich\u00e9 that even regime insiders no longer accept it, compelling the regime to find other ways to justify its brutality.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In an Iranian regime internal study in 2016 called the \u201ccrisis management quarterly report,\u201d some regime analysts proposed some actions that could help the security apparatus to disrupt and dismantle upcoming unrest. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cVulgarizing the protesters\u2019 demands\u201d ranks fourth among the 14 actions this study suggests the security forces should take in case of an uprising. In other words, while the Iranian people are calling for regime change<\/a>, the mullahs try different strategies to smear people\u2019s rightful calls and aspirations for a democratic country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The recent nationwide uprising began following the morality police\u2019s tragic murder of Mahsa Amini, a 22-years old Iranian Kurdish girl. During the first days of demonstrations, officials tried to paint protesters, particularly those in Kurdistan province, as separatists. This desperate effort failed as protests quickly spread nationwide. People in Khuzestan, Tehran, Mashhad, and elsewhere expressed their support for the people of Kurdistan and the city of Saqqez, Mahsa\u2019s hometown. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When the regime failed to break this national unity, it resorted to the worn-out tactic of \u201ceither us or chaos.\u201d While the clerical regime is responsible for millions of casualties in Syria by supporting Bashar al-Assad\u2019s regime, the mullahs and their apologists did not shy away from blaming the \u201cforeign powers\u201d for trying to turn Iran into \u201canother Syria.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe enemy\u2019s efforts to make Iran another Syria would no doubt fail,\u201d MP Ebrahim Rezai said in this regard on October 2, as <\/span>quoted by the state-run ILNA news agency<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe enemy wants to make our country another Syria, and turn it into ruins,\u201d Parviz Soury, a close figure to the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, claimed on September 29, as <\/span>quoted by the state-run Jahan-Ara website.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This gambit failed miserably, because there is a viable alternative to the ruling theocracy, acting as the trailblazer in the fight for freedom and fulfilling the goal of regime change. In recent days, authorities from different factions didn\u2019t spare any opportunity to attack the Iranian opposition, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>), and the leading role of its Resistance Units<\/a> in protests.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n #Iran<\/a> opposition PMOI\/MEK Resistance Units send 5000 messages to #FreeIran2022<\/a> campaignhttps:\/\/t.co\/FKTIiIqDxI<\/a><\/p>\n — People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) July 29, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
