Across Tehran and other major cities, demonstrators called for freedom and justice, chanting slogans like \u201cDeath to the dictator\u201d and \u201cDeath to the rule of the mullahs,\u201d openly challenging the regime\u2019s authority. The protests marked one of the largest displays of public dissent during the rule of the mullahs, showcasing the people\u2019s anger and frustration with an oppressive system. The regime\u2019s response was brutal and unrelenting. Security forces, including the Basij militia, used live ammunition, tear gas, and batons to disperse the crowds, leading to numerous deaths and injuries. Protesters fought back fiercely, overturning police vehicles and standing their ground despite the escalating violence. The 2009 Ashura uprising proved that the people despise the regime and as soon as a crack appears within the regime\u2019s tightly held apparatus of repression, the explosive potential of society spills into the streets, against the regime. On December 25, 2024, marking the anniversary of the 2009 Ashura Uprising in Iran, rebellious youth targeted several regime centers of repression and crime in Tehran. These activities occurred amid a state of dread engulfing the regime, which is caught in crises following the fall of the Assad regime in Syria and the collapse of the Iranian regime\u2019s strategic depth in the region. In their activities, the youth targeted Basij headquarters, billboards and banners of the regime\u2019s leaders, and centers of suppression against women. The youth carried out these activities despite heavy repressive and security measures by the regime, once again proving that the flame of resistance and defiance burn bright across Iran. *** Content on the PMOI\/MEK&#039;s official YouTube channel is not subject to copyright if the source is mentioned ***\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The regime only managed to hold on to power through brutal suppression but the fire of the nationwide uprisings continues to burn brightly in the ongoing activities of Iran\u2019s rebellious youth who continue to mark its anniversary with anti-regime activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the anniversary of the December 2017 uprising, Iran\u2019s rebellious youth launched a series of fiery and oppressive-breaking attacks against the centers and symbols of the regime in several cities across the country:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/irans-youth-attack-regime-centers-to-mark-anniversary-of-december-2017-uprising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s Air Pollution Crisis: Toxic Air and Regime Inaction<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-232604 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Iran-Tehran-air-pollution-04012021-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Air pollution in Tehran, the capital of Iran\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Iran-Tehran-air-pollution-04012021-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Iran-Tehran-air-pollution-04012021-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Iran-Tehran-air-pollution-04012021-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Iran-Tehran-air-pollution-04012021-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Iran-Tehran-air-pollution-04012021.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Air Quality Control Company of Tehran announced on Saturday, December 28, that the city\u2019s air quality index (AQI) has reached 103, a level deemed unhealthy and threatening to sensitive groups. However, the situation in the greater Tehran region is far worse. For instance, the air pollution index in Islamshahr hit an alarming 500, indicating a toxic and extremely hazardous state. Tehran residents have experienced only five clean days since the beginning of 2024. Some experts allege that government agencies, in an effort to avoid factory closures, school shutdowns, and the potential for protests, manipulate air quality data. These agencies reportedly use questionable calculation methods or rely on air quality stations located at higher altitudes, which tend to report lower pollution levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/general\/irans-air-pollution-crisis-toxic-air-and-regime-inaction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s Currency Crisis Deepens as Inflation Soars and Poverty Rises<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-327129 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/iran-khuzestan-retirees-protest-29122024-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/iran-khuzestan-retirees-protest-29122024-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/iran-khuzestan-retirees-protest-29122024-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/iran-khuzestan-retirees-protest-29122024-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/iran-khuzestan-retirees-protest-29122024-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/iran-khuzestan-retirees-protest-29122024-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/iran-khuzestan-retirees-protest-29122024.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Saturday, December 28, the exchange rate of the US dollar in Iran\u2019s free market surged by 800 tomans, reaching 81,700 tomans.
