Protests ensued, and locals clashed with oppressive forces. During these clashes, as later confirmed by the regime, two top IRGC local commanders were killed, including Ali Mousavi, the IRGC\u2019s deputy Intelligence commander in Sistan and Baluchistan. Mousavi and other IRGC forces were operating as plainclothes agents, shooting unarmed protesters.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Footage posted on social media indicates long lines of ambulances and busses in front of the IRGC bases, dismounting arrested protesters. Iranians regularly post reports and images on the internet about IRGC officers who are actively participating in crackdowns.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In a nutshell, the IRGC is the primary force of oppression.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Several factors explain the current situation \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">First, The IRGC is indeed very weak. The entire entity is riddled with corruption and crisis. Its so-called \u201cbillion-dollar commanders\u201d are worried about their future as the regime\u2019s collapse draws closer.\u00a0 The organization is filled with cracks and intelligence loopholes, and a testament to this fact is the recent sacking of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/anews\/who-is-who\/who-is-hossein-taeb-recently-booted-from-irans-irgc-intelligence-unit\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Hossein Taeb<\/a>, the long-serving and highly trusted commander of the IRGC\u2019s Intelligence Organization. Mistrust among its ranks abounds, reflected in the dismissal of Khamenei&#8217;s security chief Ebrahim Jabbari. Security breaches that have led to the assassination of top state officials are another testament to the latter.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Secondly, learning from their past experiences, especially in 2019, the protesters are much better organized, agile, and creative. The expansion of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-of-iran-pmoi-mek\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK)<\/a>-affiliated Resistance Units has contributed greatly to the organization and longevity of the protests, as admitted by many regime officials in the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The consistent and continuous activities of the Resistance Units in targeting the regime\u2019s symbols, bases, and other locations have acted as a sledgehammer against the wall of repression. A large banner posted atop a highway read, \u201cWe\u2019re no longer afraid. We will fight on.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The tide seems to be turning. Western powers should seriously alter their decades-long policy of investing in this regime. They should invest in Iran\u2019s future. Betting on the mullahs is like betting on a losing horse. To this end, the international community should recognize the Iranian people\u2019s right to self-defense to continue their fight for freedom.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">October 8 &#8211; Tehran, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> <br \/>Locals are quickly establishing roadblocks to take control of their areas.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranRevolution2022?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranRevolution2022<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D9%85%D9%87%D8%B3%D8%A7_%D8%A7%D9%85%DB%8C%D9%86%DB%8C?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u0645\u0647\u0633\u0627_\u0627\u0645\u06cc\u0646\u06cc<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D9%86%DB%8C%DA%A9%D8%A7_%D8%B4%D8%A7%DA%A9%D8%B1%D9%85%DB%8C?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u0646\u06cc\u06a9\u0627_\u0634\u0627\u06a9\u0631\u0645\u06cc<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QhjVLvn38Q\">pic.twitter.com\/QhjVLvn38Q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1578763396618457089?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 8, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wave of protests continues across Iran despite the regime&rsquo;s heavy-handed crackdown.
