Mass Protests In Iran: Demonstrators Set Fire To Military Base
Mass Protests In Iran: Demonstrators Set Fire To Military Base71.01.2026, 18:29 4,670 The protests are gaining momentum.The street protests in Iran started a few days ago and have reached a large scale. Angry protesters set fire to a Basij stronghold in Chenar on New Year's Eve, Bild reported.The Basij militia is part of the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The mullahs' regime is using it to suppress protests.The protests began over the weekend when merchants in Tehran's Grand Bazaar protested against soaring inflation by closing their shops. Hundreds of shopkeepers in the Iranian capital and other cities followed the call to strike. The protest then turned into a movement motivated by broad systemic criticism of the regime. It spread to universities and the streets, with millions of people coming out to protest. Many are calling for the restoration of the monarchy. Slogans like, "This is the last battle, [Shah] Pahlavi will return."Security forces in many places have responded with tear gas and detentions. According to confirmed reports, students and youth were subjected to police violence during the clashes.One of the main factors in the widening and intensification of the protests is the role of traders. They were once the backbone of the 1979 Islamic revolution and are the ones who stabilized the regime. Without them, the mullahs lose their social and economic backbone. Whether the Iranian regime will meet this challenge remains to be seen.The son of the last Shah Reza Pahlavi, who is abroad, welcomed the demonstrations and urged Iran's security not to turn against the population. He sees the current moment as a historic chance for change.PATREONSupport the website Write your comment 7 You can support the website Charter97.orgMULTI-CURRENCY ACCOUNT FOR ASSISTANCE:Bank's name: Bank Millennium S.A.Address: ul.
