In Iran, the walls and bridge columns are bearing the names and the ages of those who have fallen for freedom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Protests continued across Iran on Wednesday. People clashed with the fully-armed security forces. According to many observers, the major Iran protests had another turning point on October 26<\/a>, as many cities witnessed anti-regime protests despite the previous days\u2019 heavy crackdowns.<\/p>\n

At least 63 Iranian cities witnessed demonstrations and strikes, as well as protests by university students. These protests sent another shockwave across the globe, and Iranians\u2019 bravery in facing a brutal regime left any spectator in awe.<\/p>\n

Since its beginning, the nationwide uprising has kept its upward trend despite authorities\u2019 attempts to quash it at once and for all. According to many experts, the continuation of protests in Iran, where the entire security apparatus is set up to stifle any voice of dissent, indicates these demonstrations are organized and not \u201cleaderless.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials have called for the arrest of \u201cleaders\u201d<\/a> who guide these protests toward the national demand for regime change. Yet, Iran\u2019s volatile society is full of youth and women who have the potential to lead this uprising. Besides, there has been an organized Resistance against the clerical regime, which through a well-spread and proactive network of activists, has constantly spread the message of \u201cresistance\u201d across Iran.<\/p>\n

In their official statements or classified directives, state officials have been warning about Iran\u2019s main opposition group, Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), and its vast network of \u201cResistance Units.\u201d<\/p>\n

On October 27, the Iranian Resistance revealed<\/a> a \u201cvery confidential\u201d statement by Hossain Salami, the commander of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). This order, along with ongoing anti-MEK statements by authorities, laid bare the regime\u2019s fear of the MEK\u2019s Resistance Units.<\/p>\n

Salami underlines that \u201cConsidering the increasing trend of divisionary activities by elements of the Resistance Units affiliated to the [MEK] against classified locations,\u201d the IRGC should launch \u201ccoherent, targeted, and planned intelligence patrols, both covert and overt, as well as setting up ambushes in the security and protection perimeter of these locations.\u201d<\/p>\n
