Nationwide Iran protests entered their second month despite the regime\u2019s severe crackdown and the death of over 400 protesters<\/a>. Iranian youth play a leading role in current demonstrations, forcing the tightly controlled state media to acknowledge this fact.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cObviously, the youth are the backbone of protests. For many of them, participation in demonstrations is their first political and social action,\u201d the state-run Hamandishan wrote in this regard.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This article underlines how the tragic death of Mahsa Amini, accosted by the police, sparked these protests. \u201cBut this tragedy is no longer the denominator of these demonstrations, and the protesting population is no longer just the youth. All those who come to the street these days and protest in any way are defying the ruling system. They are revolting against this \u2018peace of the graveyard,\u2019\u201d reads the article.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Many observers believe that protests have morphed into a revolution<\/a>. Deep anger has been building for years, and the current uprising is the broadest display of a restive society. Generation after generation following the 1979 revolution, Iranians have experienced corruption, oppression, restrictions, and the regime\u2019s mismanagement.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIran’s society is full of abandoned problems. Undoubtedly, the consequence of ignoring social diversity and pluralism or imposing [the regime’s] ideological criteria and standards on everyday life will lead to a social explosion,\u201d the state-run Sharq daily wrote in this regard on October 14.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The security forces have resorted to maximum violence but have so far failed to quash protests and demoralize Iranian youth and women. People chant on streets: \u201cWhen someone falls, a thousand rise.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis generation is both brave and committed, and resilient. They are constantly updating and clarifying their solutions. They are dedicated forces that are not afraid of war and minefields, and such forces are destined for immortality and will undoubtedly tire any classical force,\u201d Hamandishegan wrote in this regard.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Iranian people continued their demonstrations and confrontations tonight in Tehran, Lahijan, Shiraz, Karaj, Ahvaz, Isfahan, Islamshahr, Gohardasht, etc. as #IranProtests<\/a> are entering the 4th week. Courageous youth say, \u201cDon\u2019t call this a protest, it\u2019s a #IranRevolution<\/a>.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/T0APXRzjFC<\/a><\/p>\n — Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) October 7, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
