Throughout the year, Iranians expressed their discontent with the regime through nationwide protests spanning various societal sectors and unprecedented boycotts of elections. Moreover, Iran&#8217;s organized resistance movement demonstrated its proficiency in mobilizing domestic networks and garnering international support in its pursuit to overthrow the regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tehran\u2019s regional warfare in 1402<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On October 7, 2023, a disastrous war broke out in the region. Soon, one of the most tragic events in modern history began, which continues to this date. Since the beginning, many observers and numerous pieces of evidence indicated the Iranian regime\u2019s role in this devastating war. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/why-state-officials-boast-about-irans-role-in-the-middle-east-crisis\/\">regime\u2019s officials initially bragged<\/a> about their power in \u201corganizing\u201d the so-called \u201caxis of resistance.\u201d Yet, soon, none other than the regime\u2019s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, denied culpability in the October 7 attack.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Desperate to face a restive society, Iran\u2019s crisis-riddled regime tried to escalate tensions by using its Houthi proxies in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iranian?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iranian<\/a> Regime\u2019s Fourfold Objectives in the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GazaCrisis?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GazaCrisis<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UXfRouGv2b\">https:\/\/t.co\/UXfRouGv2b<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1722710650818838538?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 9, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In late 2023, Houthis began attacking ships in the Red Sea. In response, an international coalition led by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/us-launches-new-multinational-operation-safeguard-red-sea-commerce-2023-12-18\/\">United States was formed<\/a> to secure maritime trade routes. After attacks by the U.S. and Israel targeted several commanders of the Quds Force in Lebanon and Syria, the Iranian regime practically found itself in a proxy war with the West.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On January 29, <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2024\/01\/29\/politics\/us-identifies-three-soldiers-killed-in-attack-in-jordan\/index.html#:~:text=The%20three%20US%20soldiers%20killed,according%20to%20the%20Defense%20Department.\">three American soldiers<\/a> were killed in an attack by the Iraqi paramilitaries on a US base in Jordan. In the wake of a deadly American response, Iraqi paramilitaries announced a halt to attacks on US bases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With an impending escalation of a regional war, the endangering of global shipping routes and other far-reaching geopolitical consequences, the events of October 7 demonstrated to the world\u2019s deliberate neglection that the primary regional and international security threat, the Islamic fundamentalism centered in Tehran, has turned out to be a fatal mistake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a result, there is a mounting international consensus calling for a shift in approach. Rather than merely addressing the regime&#8217;s proxies, there is a growing demand to hold the leadership in Tehran accountable for their actions. In other words, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/why-firmness-will-prevent-war-with-iran\/\">target the head of the snake<\/a> in Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Economic Crisis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recent reports reveal a nation grappling with soaring inflation, widespread poverty, and a collapsing currency. The past year has witnessed a dramatic downturn in living standards for many Iranians, with the mullahs\u2019 economic policies bearing a heavy toll on ordinary citizens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to economic analysts, the country has seen staggering price hikes across essential commodities, pushing <a href=\"https:\/\/fararu.com\/fa\/news\/523600\">nearly 70% of the population<\/a> below the poverty line. From the start of the year, where inflation stood at 45%, it skyrocketed to 55% by year&#8217;s end, leaving many struggling to afford even the most basic necessities and consumer goods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The plight of the average worker further illustrates the severity of the crisis. In the year 1402, a worker&#8217;s salary amounted to around 8 million tomans, but with the poverty line now surpassing 25 million tomans, roughly $408 based on the free market exchange rate, that income barely covers one-third of monthly expenses. A grim reality emerges as workers face the prospect of toiling for 120 years, diligently saving every penny, just to realize the dream of owning a modest 50-square-meter home in southern Tehran.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Watch and judge how <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a>&#39;s economy is run by the regime <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/k2QtOj9KqS\">pic.twitter.com\/k2QtOj9KqS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1736460240663540174?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 17, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The situation has forced many Iranians into unconventional means of survival, with reports indicating a rise in activities like collecting garbage to make ends meet.
