On the same night, the Iranian people, frustrated from economic constraints, poured into the streets in different cities to voice their outrage at the government\u2019s policies. The popular uprising quickly spread to 160 cities across the country Demands for decrease in gasoline prices turned into slogans calling for regime change. The regime\u2019s forces responded to the peaceful demonstrations by attacking the people and breaking their vehicle windows in the streets. The people in turn attacked banks, gas stations, police stations, governor\u2019s offices, police trailers, vehicles and motorcycles belonging to security forces, bases of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) and Basij paramilitary forces, supermarkets linked to the IRGC, offices of Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei\u2019s representatives, setting ablaze anything that was owned by the corrupt regime. \u201cAs an individual on the ground I believe only God saved us,\u201d said Basij commander Brigadier General Salar Abnush, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency. Authorities brought helicopters and sprayed bullets from above onto the demonstrators to regain control over the city. On Sunday, November 17, Khamenei associated this uprising to the Iranian opposition People&#039;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) and ordered an all-out crackdown. \u201cThese are rioters,\u201d he said, adding \u201cthe country security officials should live up to their duties.\u201d \u201cDo whatever it takes to end it,\u201d Khamenei told top security and government officials, according to a Reuters report. These remarks by Khamenei shed light on his deep concerns about the uprising overthrowing his entire regime. He issued orders for a massive crackdown, allowing his forces to launch a killing spree. As a result, they killed at least 1,500 people with direct fire. Following Khamenei\u2019s orders, security forces began shooting demonstrators in the head and raising the number of casualties to create fear among protesters. In some cities, such as Mahshahr in southwest Iran, the regime\u2019s security forces used armored vehicles, helicopters and large-caliber machine guns against protesters. In Mahshahr, armed security forces chased down local youths and forced them into a marsh area. Then they opened fire with heavy machine guns (.50 caliber\/12.7 mm) on the young men hiding in the marshes, killing many of them. The scope of the regime\u2019s crackdown in November 2019 was without a doubt unprecedented in the regime\u2019s four-decade history. Another issue mentioned by many in reference to this uprising was the PMOI\/MEK\u2019s role in this outburst of nationwide protests. This especially includes the regime\u2019s own officials and state media: The main difference of this uprising with previous years was the organized nature of the developments. Regime officials specially mention this in their remarks, referring to the PMOI\/MEK Resistance Units inside Iran as the leading force behind the country\u2019s uprisings. Resistance Units are teams with a few to several members and their main objective during the past few years has lead the country\u2019s uprisings and counter the atmosphere of fear imposed by the regime. On November 17, 2019, Ali Shamkhani, chair of the regime\u2019s Supreme National Security Council, held a press conference focusing on the nationwide protests. \u201cThese individuals are linked to the PMOI\/MEK\u2026 I believe we have arrested 34 MEK members so far and identified a large network of channels that are active not under the MEK banner but following their modus operandi,\u201d he said. Furthermore, heroic women played an incredibly significant role in the November 2019 uprising, showing practical leadership on the streets, bravery and the remarkable speed necessary that is needed in uprisings. If the word on the ground during the December 2017\/January 2018 uprising was the end of the reformists\/principalists scenario within the regime, in November 2019 Iran the people entered a path of uprising to realize their democratic alternative as the only solution forward. The Resistance Units strategy in cities, towns and neighborhoods has found its ground. The Iranian people and their organized resistance movement have reached a point of no return. They have once again proven to the world that the only means to save the Iranian people is to overthrow the ruling mullahs\u2019 regime. Iranian opposition NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi said at a ceremony commemorating the martyrs of the November 2019 uprising: \u201cThe world has witnessed one of the most horrific crimes of the 21st century. \u201cLet me emphasize that in the face of these arisen youth, the regime cannot forestall its overthrow.&quot; https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/ https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/t\/iran-protests\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a coordinated effort to honor Iran\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/the-legacy-of-the-november-2019-uprising-in-iran\/\">November 2019 uprising<\/a>, PMOI Resistance Units carried out over 100 activities across the country.

Under the Trump administration\u2019s \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d campaign (2018\u20132021), over 90% of Iran\u2019s $120 billion in reserves became inaccessible.

This development is intended to allow Iranians to use their bank cards in Russia and permit Russian nationals to access financial services in Iran.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While an official start date for this initiative has not been provided, the collaboration marks a significant step in Iran\u2019s efforts to insulate its economy from Western financial pressures.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s banking sector has been crippled since 2018, when the United States, under then-President Donald Trump, pushed for Iran\u2019s exclusion from the global financial messaging system SWIFT.\u00a0This isolation severely restricted Iran\u2019s ability to conduct international transactions, as SWIFT is the primary channel for global banking.
