The NCRI-US also shed light on the uprising\u2019s implications and presented a series of policy recommendations for the international community to support the Iranian people\u2019s protests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Ms. Soona Samsami, the NCRI\u2019s Representative in the U.S., along with Mr. Alireza Jafarzadeh, the Deputy Director of the NCRI-US, made elucidating remarks about the current uprising in Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cThe regime has admitted to at least 2,000 of its agents being beaten and wounded in acts of self-defense by the protesters. In fact, what is happening in Iran today has all the hallmarks of a revolution in the making. We have passed a historic inflection point with people\u2019s fear dissipating and fear reigning in the regime, a point of no return,\u201d Ms. Samsami said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cSince the uprising started in mid-September 2022, the main questions were for how long this could go on if the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) would directly get involved, and how effectively the regime can stop it as quickly as possible,\u201d Mr. Jafarzadeh revealed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The full report of this important press conference can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncrius.org\/press-briefing-iran-protests-the-one-month-overview-projection-policy-implications.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>UPDATE: 10:00 AM CEST<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">News Roundup on the Uprising from Wednesday, October 19<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">University students continued their demonstrations earlier on Wednesday, as nationwide protests started at around 6 PM local time across Iran, despite an intense and heavy crackdown by regime intelligence operatives, plainclothes IRGC and Basij forces, and uniformed security forces acting in tandem to quell the uprising.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Strikes by oil and petrochemical workers that started last week spread to more plants, including contract workers at the South Pars natural gas fields that produce around 70 percent of the country\u2019s energy needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Protests were reported in Tehran, Esfahan, Arak, Ilam, Kermanshah, Sari, Zahedan, Dehgolan, Urmia, Darreh Shahr, Bandar Abbas, and several western cities with Kurdish-majority populations and in the south. The regime shut down mobile Internet access, affecting the number of videos and photos being posted on social media.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">October 26 will be the 40th day since the Iranian morality patrol killed Mahsa Amini. Upon tradition, Iranians commonly honor the 40th day after a person\u2019s death. Protesters have already called for demonstrations to mark the 40th-day commemoration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency reported that most arrested protestors are younger than 35. It stated that 42 percent of arrested protestors were under the age of 20, 48 percent were between the ages of 20 and 35, and 10 percent were over the age of 35. Fars added that two percent of total detainees were government employees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Iran\u2019s universities are a hotbed of protest and students have been at the forefront of opposing the regime. That may be a reason why Ali Khamenei met with handpicked university science faculty and students to placate the resistance to his regime. Khamenei paid lip service to the academic elite at a time when scores of leading students, some winners of scientific Olympiads, are languishing in his prisons on political charges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In an interview with state television Channel 1, Kazem Gharibabadi, the Judiciary\u2019s deputy for international affairs, displayed the regime\u2019s exasperation over the defiant reaction of the youth in the nationwide uprising, and revealed that \u201cmore than 1,300 buildings, motorcycles, vehicles, and banks have been destroyed and 5,000 members of the suppressive forces have been beaten and injured,\u201d during the uprising after attacking protesters.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">October 19 &#8211;
