With great fanfare, Iran’s ruling theocracy held the Revolution anniversary circus. But the chaos among the regime’s supporters, coupled with desperate remarks of the mullahs’ president, Ebrahim Raisi, laid bare Tehran’s weakness and fear of its organized opposition.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

February 11 marks the fall of the anti-monarchial dictatorship<\/a> in 1979. However, it has now become an event where the clerical dictatorship tries to hold state-managed rallies to assert its popularity and legitimacy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Raisi bragged about economic prosperity, which starkly contrasted the country’s financial calamity with the most important driving factors of the ongoing uprising.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“We have reached many successes, but the enemy cannot tolerate that,” he said. While Iranians continue their anti-regime protests in different ways, Raisi claimed<\/a> the regime “has overcome the sedition instigated by the enemy.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Raisi’s litany of lies featured some truths about the advances made by the Iranian opposition, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK). The president of the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism complained about the “freedom of activity of a terrorist group.” He also ranted about the U.S. House Resolution 100, which supports a democratic and secular republic in Iran, notably the Ten-point Plan<\/a> of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the MEK’s parent collation, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a dream: An Iran free of execution and torture, where stoning and amputation of limbs would be a thing of the past, where love, friendship and tolerance shall replace mistrust, hatred and vengeance#FreeIran2022<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/T1dieUHt8i<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/pwyNFOjPMd<\/a><\/p>\n
