\"Iran-Protests-2022\"<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s nationwide uprising continued Monday, with oil workers going on strike<\/a> and holding anti-regime rallies. In parallel with the mounting and expanding unrest, the clerical regime\u2019s infighting and contradictory remarks of its officials increased.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent incidents, some [regime insiders] played the enemy\u2019s game. It is such a pity to witness some equivocal statements in support of the current unrests and rioters,\u201d Ahmadreza Shahrokhi, Khorramabad Friday prayer leader, said on October 7, as reported by state TV.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Protests are broadening, showcasing a volatile society, and laying bare the regime\u2019s failure to quash what many believe is Iran\u2019s democratic revolution<\/a>.\u202f The regime is indeed in a deadlock, and this became evident during the heads of three government branches\u2019 meeting on Saturday, October 8. They failed to offer a solution despite the uprising\u2019s existential threat to the regime.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe heads of the three government branches underlined national unity for the continued development and progress of the country and considered it necessary to maintain calm for economic activities and businesses,\u201d read their statement, as reported by State TV.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This statement comes at a time when authorities open fire on unarmed protesters, disrupt people\u2019s businesses with internet blackouts, and continue squandering the national wealth on terrorism and nuclear and missile programs.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
