Iran\u2019s nationwide protests have persisted for 100 consecutive days<\/a>, and with no socio-economic or political resolutions in sight, there is no easing of the upheaval in the forecast.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Initially sparked following the tragic death of Mahsa Amini in the morality police custody, protests soon morphed into what many consider a revolution, with people resisting the regime\u2019s brutal oppression.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Iranian people\u2019s unwavering determination to topple the regime at any cost, and the role of Iran\u2019s organized opposition<\/a> as the driving force behind the uprising, have indeed frustrated the security forces.\u00a0<\/span>Bereft of any solution to quell society and control uprising, authorities and state-run media continue their \u201cvictory\u201d rhetoric.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe riots have ended in the country,\u201d the state-run Iran daily, the government\u2019s official newspaper, claimed on December 24.\u00a0 \u201cThe bitter autumn of 2022 has ended without the [dissidents] achieving much success,\u201d the state-run Vatan-e Emrooz daily also wrote in this regard on December 22.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the Javan newspaper, an outlet linked to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), promised security forces of the \u201criots\u2019 failure.\u201d<\/a> It is worth noting that IRGC commander-in-chief, Hossein Salami, has repeatedly boasted about successfully \u201cwrapping up\u201d protests, only to see another round of demonstrations erupt, sometimes hours after his remarks.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of the officials\u2019 efforts to pull the wool over their dispirited forces\u2019 eyes, they finally get the short end of the stick, as the stubborn facts on the ground remove any doubt about the regime\u2019s dark future as the uprising continues.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday, and Saturday alone, reports tallied by the Iranian opposition Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK)<\/a>, indicate there have been dozens of anti-regime demonstrations across Iran. Besides, defiant youth in several cities, such as Babol, Isfahan, Saveh, and Tabriz, torched the regime\u2019s symbols and the bases of the IRGC paramilitary Basij.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
