Former Official Warns Against Regime’s Downfall<\/h3>\n

\"iran-abbas-abdi-regime-change\"<\/p>\n

As the uprising continues to surge across Iran and state officials’ lies that “riots have settled down” becomes more irrelevant, more and more of the regime’s insiders speak out against the Supreme Leader and lay bare the vulnerability that Khamenei wanted to hide all along.<\/p>\n

Questioning the Supreme Leader’s strategy, former intelligence official Abbas Abdi told the state-run Baharnews<\/a> on October 25: “Principally, having the power to adapt to the circumstances is necessary for survival and evolution. However, one can ask, why is this false proposition still prevalent? Especially in the case of governments, some statements suggest that retreating or making a compromise is equivalent to destruction. So, insisting on traditional positions is considered equivalent to success and victory?”<\/p>\n

Comparing the regime to other overthrown regimes in history, Abbas Abdi warns that if the regime continues the same path downward, the regime will face the same fate.<\/p>\n

Iran Uprising at a Glance \u2013 Day 41<\/h3>\n

Based partially on reporting by PMOI (MEK) Network in Iran<\/p>\n

Wednesday, October 26, 2022 \u2013 7 PM CET<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Days<\/strong>: 41st<\/sup> day<\/li>\n
  • Protests<\/strong>: 199 cities<\/li>\n
  • Fatalities<\/strong>: 400+ estimated deaths, 260 identified by MEK<\/li>\n
  • Detentions<\/strong>: 20,000+<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Today proved to be a fierce day of resistance all over Iran. Just until 5 pm local time in Tehran, at least 58 university campuses, 30 different districts across the capital, and 19 other major cities were revolting against the regime and its oppressive rule, with demonstrators targeting Ali Khamenei and the foundations of the religious dictatorship in stark language.<\/p>\n

    As the nationwide uprising in Iran rages on, the 40th<\/sup> day of Mahsa Amini\u2019s death in custody started before Wednesday noon with a huge gathering at her grave in Saqqez<\/a>. The 40th<\/sup> day has special significance in Iran, and in Mahsa Amini\u2019s case, it carries strong political overtones as the occasion turned into a huge and iconic public mourning.<\/p>\n

    Huge crowds, <\/a>estimated by some to be over tens of thousands of mourners and protesters, crowded the path toward Aichi cemetery despite the authorities blocking all roads and routes to prevent such a gathering.<\/p>\n

    Today, one can hear the cries of \u201cDeath to Khamenei\u201d throughout Iran; from Aichi cemetery in #Saqqez<\/a> where #MahsaAmini<\/a> is buried to various districts across Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan & Kerman.#IranRevolution<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/HSaeZrIeGv<\/a><\/p>\n
