Shattering The Illusion: Resistance Units Defy Regime\u2019s Security Maneuvers During Khamenei\u2019s Funeral<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On July 6, as the Iranian regime held heavily militarized state funeral ceremonies for its eliminated supreme leader Ali Khamenei, the PMOI\/MEK Resistance Units launched a daring nationwide campaign. While the regime desperately sought to project stability, defiant youth targeted the regime\u2019s centers of repression and corruption. These bold actions echo the true desire of the Iranian people: the complete overthrow of the mullahs\u2019 rule and the establishment of a democratic republic. During the funeral ceremonies, which lasted several days, the regime transformed the ceremonies into a massive political and security maneuver. The primary objective was to artificially project state cohesion and consolidate the unearned position of Mojtaba Khamenei, the newly installed successor. To control the public space and prevent any uprisings, the regime saturated the streets with widespread deployments of the IRGC, Basij, and intelligence agencies.<\/p>\n

Throughout the heavily guarded events, regime officials used the platform to demand \u201crevenge\u201d and pledge their allegiance to Mojtaba. Regime president Masoud Pezeshkian vowed that Khamenei\u2019s \u201cpath will continue,\u201d while Quds Force chief Esmail Qaani stated that the regime\u2019s forces \u201cknow what path to take\u201d following Khamenei\u2019s death. Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani absurdly claimed that \u201cthe people\u201d support Mojtaba Khamenei \u201cwith all their being.\u201d<\/p>\n
