The reasons that initially led people to turn against the regime not only persist but have worsened over time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/insider\/irans-regime-has-failed-to-contain-public-outrage-officials-and-analysts-warn\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tehran\u2019s Sale by the Tehran Municipality in 2023<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-308342 size-medium\" title=\"When Tehran is auctioned by the municipality\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/When-Tehran-is-auctioned-by-the-municipality-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"When Tehran is auctioned by the municipality\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/When-Tehran-is-auctioned-by-the-municipality-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/When-Tehran-is-auctioned-by-the-municipality-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/When-Tehran-is-auctioned-by-the-municipality-696x348.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/When-Tehran-is-auctioned-by-the-municipality.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to documents published by Shargh newspaper, the Tehran Municipality has engaged in densification and auctioning of the capital city based on the \u201cArticle 5 Commission of Tehran City.\u201d Shargh newspaper, in an article titled \u201cCapital Auction,\u201d has pointed to widespread plunder and city selling in expensive areas of Tehran on Thursday, 7th June 2023.\u00a0The story goes that Shargh obtained a report from the Supreme Council of Urban Planning of the Iranian government, which reveals that the decisions of the \u201cArticle 5 Commission of Tehran City\u201d in the past year have been implemented and executed by the Tehran Municipality without the approval of the Supreme Council of Urban Planning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewswire.org\/tehrans-sale-by-the-tehran-municipality-in-2023\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zahra Mohammadi and Faezah Ebrahimi, Medical Students From Bushehr, Die in a Car Accident<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-308339 size-medium\" title=\"Medical students from Bushehr min\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Medical-students-from-Bushehr-min-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Medical students from Bushehr min\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Medical-students-from-Bushehr-min-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Medical-students-from-Bushehr-min-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Medical-students-from-Bushehr-min-696x348.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Medical-students-from-Bushehr-min.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zahra Mohammadi, Faezeh Ebrahimi, Mohammad Reza Keshtkar, and Mohammad Haqqani, medical students from Bushehr, lost their lives in a car\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/2019\/11\/10\/a-13-year-old-girl-dies-six-get-injured-in-road-accidents-in-iran\/\" rel=\"noopener\">accident<\/a> due to the failure of the airbags.\u00a0On Thursday, June 8, 2023, on the\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kazerun\" rel=\"noopener\">Kazerun<\/a>-Shiraz road, four medical students from Bushehr named Zahra Mohammadi, Faezah Ebrahimi, Mohammad Reza Keshtkar, and Mohammad Haqqani, who were in the final stages of their studies, died in a\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/2016\/12\/09\/iran-women-protest-high-fatalities-of-road-accidents\/\" rel=\"noopener\">road accident<\/a>.\u00a0At the same time, Sassan Hosseinpoor, a nursing student from the same university, also lost his life near\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dalaki\" rel=\"noopener\">Dalaki<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/2023\/06\/11\/medical-students-from-bushehr\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cologne and Hamburg\u2014June 10, 2023: MEK Supporters Held Rallies and Exhibitions in Support of the Iran Revolution<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Cologne &amp;amp;
