The third installment of the November Uprising campaign targeted regime institutions, Basij bases, propaganda displays, and centers used by security forces across Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Kermanshah, Ahvaz, and other Iranian cities.
The PMOI Resistance Units have announced 30 anti-repression operations across Iran to mark the anniversary of the November 2019 uprising, honoring those killed during the nationwide protests and renewing their campaign against the clerical dictatorship.
Described as the third installment of the November Uprising Campaign, the operations took place under the slogan of honoring the uprising’s martyrs and rejecting both the former monarchy and the current theocratic dictatorship. The campaign carried the message: “May the bloodthirsty Sheikh and Shah be condemned by the people and history.”
According to the announcement, the 30 operations were conducted in Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Ahvaz, Kermanshah, Rasht, Khorramabad, Hamedan, Bushehr, Zahedan, Rask, Iranshahr, Falard in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Mamasani, Marivan, Jolfa, and Bukan.
Attacks on regime institutions and Basij bases
Several operations targeted institutions and facilities associated with the regime’s repressive apparatus.
In Tehran, explosions were reported at the regime’s District 13 municipality, identified in the announcement as a gathering and preparation site for security forces. Another explosion targeted the District 9 municipality in Mashhad, also described as a location used by regime forces.
In Falard, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, an explosion targeted a facility belonging to the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee.
Other operations involved attacks on Basij bases affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). In Tehran, Resistance Units set fire to several Basij bases using Molotov cocktails. In Ahvaz, an attack targeted an IRGC Basij headquarters, involving gunfire and the burning of the facility.
Additional Basij facilities were set on fire in Khorramabad, Rask, and Iranshahr. In Tehran, another operation targeted a sign identifying a Basij intelligence-gathering headquarters.
In Kermanshah, the campaign also included explosions targeting a religious seminary and the regime’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance office.
Burning portraits and propaganda displays
A substantial part of the 30 operations focused on destroying the regime’s propaganda displays, particularly banners featuring Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei, Ruhollah Khomeini, and other regime figures.
In Isfahan, several banners depicting Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei, and other senior regime figures were set on fire. Similar actions were reported in Ahvaz, Kermanshah, Hamedan, and Zahedan.
In Zahedan, a banner depicting Ali Khamenei was burned using a Molotov cocktail. In Rasht, Bukan, and Jolfa, banners featuring Mojtaba Khamenei were targeted. In Tehran, a banner depicting Ruhollah Khomeini was set on fire.
Other operations targeted banners belonging to the IRGC’s Basij organization in Kermanshah, Bushehr, Mamasani, and Marivan. In Kermanshah, banners depicting deceased senior regime commanders were also burned.
November 2019 uprising remains a symbol of resistance
The campaign commemorates the November 2019 uprising, when protests initially triggered by a sudden increase in fuel prices spread rapidly across Iran. The regime responded with a violent crackdown, killing hundreds of protesters and arresting thousands.
The uprising remains a defining episode in the confrontation between Iranian society and the ruling dictatorship. Its anniversary has become an occasion for honoring those killed in the crackdown and reaffirming the demand for an end to religious and monarchical dictatorship.
Through the latest campaign, the PMOI Resistance Units sought to connect the memory of the November 2019 martyrs with continued acts of defiance against the regime. The campaign’s central message rejects both the former Shah’s monarchy and the current clerical system, emphasizing the demand for a democratic alternative.
The 30 announced operations across multiple provinces reflect the Resistance Units’ effort to keep the November uprising’s legacy alive and challenge the regime’s symbols, institutions, and repressive apparatus.
