Iran Uprising Day 17: Regime Resorts to Mass Killings and Extortion as Global Support for Revolution Grows<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Three-minute read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Amid the recent ceasefire and the 40th-day memorials for the regime’s slain leader, a wave of anxiety has swept through the highest echelons of the Iranian establishment. The regime now faces a paralyzing dilemma in ceasefire negotiations: state officials fear that any concessions will demoralize their ranks, potentially triggering mass defections among security and militia forces. Amidst this internal fragility, state officials are increasingly vocal about their dread of a restive society and the organized resistance, specifically the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK).<\/p>\n

The Shadow of “Operation Eternal Light”<\/h3>\n

Senior officials are drawing direct parallels between the current instability and the 1988\u00a0 Operation Eternal Light offensive. On April 8, 2026, a state-affiliated media activist Rouzbeh Alamdari warned<\/a> on X: “Let us not drown in the narrative of victory! There is no trust in the enemy. We do not lose sight of the danger of a ‘Forugh-e Javidan 2’.”<\/p>\n

The Eternal Light operation<\/a> (Forugh-e Javidan) remains a symbol of the Iranian people’s unwavering resolve to achieve freedom and a democratic alternative. Launched by the National Liberation Army, this historic offensive demonstrated a level of organizational prowess and military courage that shook the clerical establishment to its core. The regime’s enduring fear stems from the fact that the operation shattered the myth of its invincibility and proved that a dedicated resistance force is capable of directly challenging its grip on power. Even decades later, state officials obsessively recall the event because it represents their ultimate nightmare: a synchronized surge where an organized vanguard connects with a restive society to bring an end to religious dictatorship.<\/p>\n

Writing in the IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency, Mohammad-Reza Tourani, a state-aligned figure, warned the establishment<\/a> to beware of the PMOI. By disparaging the Iranian Resistance’s “support for the ceasefire” as deceptive, Tourani inadvertently admits to the growing appeal of the organization. His rhetoric reveals a deep-seated fear that as “fake alternatives” are exposed for their lack of substance, the organized resistance is successfully reclaiming the national narrative and gaining traction within a restive society.<\/p>\n
