Just two days before the resurgence of an uprising in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, marking the anniversary of the Zahedan Bloody Friday, an online outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps called Javan Online raised the alarm about the society veering from established “norms” and the looming threat of a devastating uprising led by the hungry masses.<\/p>\n
The cause for this heightened concern was evident in the subsequent days, September 29th and 30th, when both the regime and the Iranian populace heard echoing chants of “death to Khamenei” and \u201cdeath to the dictator\u201d across the impoverished province. This was accompanied by widespread strikes in major cities across the province and dozens of clashes and skirmishes by revolutionary youth against security forces or state buildings.<\/p>\n
On September 27, in a column entitled “Values Lost, Norms Broken,” the IRGC-run outlet wrote<\/a>, “We are witnessing periods of accumulating anger. This anger has various reasons; reasons as livelihood, political demands, economic issues, and other factors that can be mentioned in this regard. In fact, continuous and negative emotions are turning into anger. Currently, the intervals of this anger’s tendency towards emancipation have reduced compared to before. We used to witness the burst of this anger approximately once every 10 years, but now, this time gap has decreased.”<\/p>\n The notion of ‘deviation from norms’ and the ‘accumulation of people’s anger’ is not merely a statement by the so-called \u201cmoderate\u201d faction in the regime or a castaway individual from the power structure. It stands as an acknowledgment of the main tool of Khamenei’s crackdown apparatus, the IRGC.<\/p>\n The IRGC’s mouthpiece openly concedes that this built-up anger is a highly compressed explosive, primed to detonate. What fuels this explosion and potential uprising isn’t just societal pressures, restrictions, and cultural grievances; it’s also economic hardships and livelihood challenges.<\/p>\n In response to this warning conveyed by Javan Online, a media platform under state control, another outlet called Ruydad 24, echoed this security concern. It showcased the regime’s fear of an uprising and the eruption of public anger due to livelihood problems, citing an analyst associated with the regime.<\/p>\n Watch and judge how this former Supreme Leader's confidant forecasts the downfall of the regime in #Iran<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/nXbp7Lcc2b<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) July 29, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
