Iranian civilians endure bombings, sanctions, and state brutality, yet are questioned about their reluctance to rise against oppression. Historical precedents show that uprisings do not guarantee peaceful transitions. The regime's aggressions continue, exacerbated by foreign interventions. Following targeted attacks on regime officials, civilians experience short-lived relief coupled with ongoing fear of violence. Ethnic minorities face a surge in repression, demonstrating the regime’s strategic use of violence. Solidarity has emerged among various social groups in Iran, but increased government violence ensues, dismissing calls for regime change from outside influences, often ignorant of local realities.
The regime's war against its own people never pauses. It only shifts tactics, and every time the regime is threatened, it cracks down harder.
For the first time, Kurds, Persians, Baluchis, Azeris, Arabs, rich and poor, devout and secular, moved together under one cry: 'Jin, Jiyan, Azadi'.
Each time the world expects Iran to rise up peacefully, it disregards the brutal realities of life under an oppressive regime exacerbated by foreign intervention.
In Mahabad, ambulances were blocked and donated blood was confiscated as the regime responds to challenges with increased violence against vulnerable populations.
