Despite maximum security readiness from state authorities, PMOI-affiliated Resistance Units executed over 110 synchronized operations, targeting the state-wide security\u00a0 mobilization of the regime during the start of the academic year and commemorating historic nationwide uprisings. The widespread geographic distribution of these direct actions underscores an escalating domestic struggle, revealing the clerical establishment&#8217;s expanding difficulty in suppressing organized resistance across urban centers.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">September 26, 2026<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/pmoi-resistance-units\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resistance Units<\/a> executed 60 coordinated direct actions across 17 municipalities while state security forces operated under maximum alert levels.

In <strong>Tabriz, Shiraz, and Marvdasht<\/strong>, public messaging explicitly advocated armed defiance against state coercion, while Resistance Units in <strong>Isfahan<\/strong> focused on mobilizing youth in schools and universities. Public slogans in <strong>Zahedan<\/strong> and <strong>Hamedan<\/strong> firmly condemned both the former monarchy and current clerical leadership, asserting &#8220;Death to the oppressor, be it Shah or Leader&#8221;. Wall-writing campaigns in <strong>Ahvaz<\/strong> and <strong>Kermanshah<\/strong> reaffirmed calls for regime change, while specialized displays in <strong>Behshahr, Nahavand, <\/strong>and <strong>Zahedan<\/strong> honored fallen youth from historical and recent state massacres.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">September 25, 2026<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <strong>Zahedan<\/strong>, the units mounted a public banner and placard campaign across major transit corridors to mark the anniversary of the 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-protests\/remembering-zahedans-bloody-friday-a-year-later-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Bloody Friday&#8221; massacre<\/a> and the 1981 youth mobilization.
