History has shown that dictatorships often initiate wars, but rarely bring them to a conclusion. This tendency is inherent in the nature of dictatorships, underscoring the importance of people\u2019s awareness and vigilance. Iran, under the rule of the mullahs, is no exception to this basic principle. Figures like Reza Pahlavi, Ruhollah Khomeini, and Ali Khamenei initiated their dictatorships, but as witnessed, one was overthrown by the people in 1979, and the religious regime of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/middle-east\/the-iranian-regimes-hidden-agenda-in-the-gaza-conflict\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Velayat-e Faqih<\/a>\u00a0will face a similar fate. Ultimately, people are the true architects of the story, a lesson reiterated by science and philosophy throughout history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reflecting on the ongoing war in the Middle East that began on October 7, it becomes evident that the root cause lies in the religious regime ruling Iran since 1979. The regime\u2019s foundation rested on suppressing freedoms within Iran, and its continuity relied on war-mongering and exporting crises beyond its borders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/middle-east\/why-irans-regime-needs-crises-in-the-middle-east-to-maintain-its-hold-on-power\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Systematic Use of Sexual Violence Against Iranian Protesters \u2013 Amnesty International Unveils<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-314139 size-medium\" title=\"Amnesty International Sexual Violence min\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Amnesty-International-Sexual-Violence-min-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Amnesty International Sexual Violence min\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Amnesty-International-Sexual-Violence-min-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Amnesty-International-Sexual-Violence-min-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Amnesty-International-Sexual-Violence-min-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Amnesty-International-Sexual-Violence-min-696x348.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Amnesty-International-Sexual-Violence-min.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Amnesty International\u2019s\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2023\/12\/iran-security-forces-used-rape-and-other-sexual-violence-to-crush-woman-life-freedom-uprising-with-impunity\/\" rel=\"noopener\">latest report<\/a>, released on December 6, 2023, sheds light on the grim realities faced by Iranian regime opponents and detainees\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/2023\/03\/07\/women-lead-the-charge\/\" rel=\"noopener\">amid the 2022 protests<\/a>.

However, seven decades later, the people of Iran continued to honor their memory and December 7 has become Iran\u2019s Student Day, in which the people commemorate the role of Iran\u2019s young generation in shaping the country\u2019s future. On the anniversary of Student Day, Resistance Units, the network of PMOI (MEK) supporters inside Iran, held activities across the country. They reiterated their commitment to continue the path of the students, who have laid down their lives for freedom, and the martyrs of Iran\u2019s uprisings for overthrowing the mullahs\u2019 rule. In Shahr-e Rey, Resistance Units attended the graves of the three students murdered by the Shah regime and laid flower wreaths on their graves on behalf of the PMOI and the Iranian Resistance. They placed the message on the graves, \u201cHail to the martyrs of December 7, hail to the student martyrs of the 2019 and 2022 uprisings. Down with the oppressor, bet it the Shah or the mullahs.\u201d In their activities, the Resistance Units repeated the slogans of Iran\u2019s uprisings, demanding regime change and rejecting any form of dictatorship. In other cities, Resistance Units installed images of students and youths murdered by the regime in the uprisings that have taken place across the country in different cities. Resistance Units also mark Iran\u2019s Student Day by spreading messages, distributing leaflets, and writing slogans such as: \u201cStudents are awake and they despise the Shah and the mullahs.\u201d \u201cStudents are defending freedom.\u201d \u201cEvery university is a bastion of rebellion and revolution.\u201d In many cities, MEK Resistance Units projected images and messages of Iranian Resistance Leader Massoud Rajavi and NCRI president-elect Maryam Rajavi, with messages about the role of students and youths in the fight for freedom in Iran. MEK Resistance Units projected images of Maryam Rajavi in public locations with the messages: \u201cThe university is the fortress of freedom against the Shah and mullahs\u201d and \u201cKeep the memory of the martyrs alive with uprisings and protests in universities.\u201d Today, the regime is terrified of its diminishing power and the growing power of the Iranian Resistance and the Resistance Units. The regime is resorting to different tactics to contain the next round of protests, including ramping up protests and increasing repression under the fog of war in Gaza. But at every corner, the regime\u2019s tactics are met with the efforts of the Resistance Units. Neither its warmongering nor its suppressive tactics will save the regime from its inevitable overthrow.
