In their fourth major campaign marking the anniversary, these brave activists carried out 24 fiery, repression-breaking operations in cities across the country, targeting the regime\u2019s centers of suppression and symbols of its corrupt rule.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Iran\u2019s rebellious youth mark November 2019 uprising anniversary with 24 fiery operations <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/S8LNVhxH6N\">https:\/\/t.co\/S8LNVhxH6N<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1990418112940785947?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 17, 2025<\/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;\">Some of these operations were carried out in memory of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/iranian-student-ahmad-baledi-dies-after-self-immolation-protest-against-regimes-repressive-measures\/\">Ahmad Baledi<\/a>, a 20-year-old student from Ahvaz whose tragic death has become a new symbol of the regime\u2019s brutal oppression. On November 2, regime agents violently destroyed his family\u2019s legally-operated food kiosk, their only source of income. When Ahmad protested and warned that he would set himself on fire, an officer taunted him to set himself on fire. Ahmad self-immolated as a last way to have his voice and protest heard. He eventually succumbed to his injuries on November 11. His desperate act of protest has ignited a wave of public fury, exposing the systematic cruelty that pushes ordinary citizens to the brink and turning his name into a rallying cry for justice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/irans-rebellious-youth-mark-november-2019-uprising-anniversary-with-24-fiery-operations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">While The World Is Distracted, Iran Executes Critics with Impunity<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-310464 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/sunday-times-logo-300x89.png\" alt=\"sunday times logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"89\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/sunday-times-logo-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/sunday-times-logo-150x44.png 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/sunday-times-logo.png 413w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each time her phone rings, Leila* flinches.

Local reports indicated that permanent and newly hired employees at the South Pars refineries gathered to protest low wages and unmet demands. These gatherings took place on Saturday, November 14, 2025. According to the reports, security forces dispersed the protests. In Asaluyeh, Bushehr Province, newly hired workers at the Seventh Refinery of the South Pars gas field also gathered and protested their low salaries. One of the protesters said that workers\u2019 financial concerns were being ignored.

These warnings, though often wrapped in cautious language, reveal a deeper reality: an entrenched fear inside the ruling establishment. The central question is no longer whether the regime is worried, but what it fears most. What force drives this persistent sense of insecurity? What is the underlying cause of this permanent state of alarm? At the heart of Iran\u2019s political and social landscape lies an unstable relationship between society and state. Tensions\u2014both visible and hidden\u2014are continuous. The wider the gap between popular demands and the rigid, closed political structure, the louder the warnings in official discourse become. Even heavily censored media cannot fully conceal the tremors shaking the foundation beneath the ruling elite.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/insider\/rising-internal-warnings-expose-the-regimes-fear-of-a-social-explosion-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-in-brief-news\/iran-news-in-brief-november-17-2025\/\">Also, read Iran News in Brief \u2013 November 17, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 08:00 AM CET Iran&rsquo;s Rebellious Youth Mark November 2019 Uprising Anniversary With 24 Fiery Operations As Iran marks the sixth [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":339516,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[234],"tags":[277],"class_list":{"0":"post-339504","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-news-in-brief-news","8":"tag-iran-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
