The nationwide uprising that erupted in September 2022 was a major blow to Iran\u2019s clerical regime, posing an existential threat to it, according to a document published by \u201cGhyamSarnegouni<\/a>\u201d (\u201cRise to Overthrow\u201d in Persian), a group of Iranian dissidents that managed to breach the servers of the regime\u2019s presidential offices on May 29 and gain access to a trove of classified documents and internal messages.<\/p>\n

The newly published document is a directive issued by Ali Bahadori-Jahromi, the spokesperson of Ebrahim Raisi\u2019s government, to all cabinet members, instructing them on how to parrot false narratives about the popular protests and blame the regime\u2019s adversaries for instigating the uprisings.<\/p>\n

The letter acknowledges that the nationwide uprising is seated in much deeper issues than hijab and morality-related problems or the death of Mahsa Amini, a young girl who was murdered by the regime\u2019s morality police<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe enemy’s main goal is to undermine the principles of independence and authority in Islamic Iran and hinder progress,\u201d the directive claims, tacitly saying that Iranians, which the regime describes as \u201cenemy,\u201d want the regime\u2019s downfall.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the uprising, some self-proclaimed opposition figures and groups have been promoting \u201ccivil disobedience\u201d<\/a> and \u201cnon-violent\u201d means of protests, thus, downgrading the Iranian people\u2019s right to self-defense in the face of the regime\u2019s increasing brutality to blind and unprovoked \u201cviolence\u201d.<\/p>\n

In his letter to cabinet members, Bahadori Jahromi underlines to \u201cProvide full and comprehensive support for the military and police forces while condemning any actions that weaken the country’s security and condemn attacks against the IRGC, Basij, army, and police forces.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, wittingly or unwittingly, those so-called \u201cdissidents\u201d accusing Iranian people of violence while counting on the regime\u2019s military forces as a force for change are indeed following the regime\u2019s agenda and guidelines.<\/p>\n

The #Iranian<\/a> group \u201cGhiam ta Sarnegouni\u201d is releasing documents, revealing cooperation between the regime's MFA and #intelligence<\/a> agencies to discredit the @Mojahedineng<\/a> by using false information.https:\/\/t.co\/jndYhWRGf8<\/a><\/p>\n
