Iran is on the path to a fundamental change. The third week of the nationwide protests has begun. It all began with the death of Mahsa Amini arrested by the regime’s so-called morality police for not compelling with the regime’s hijab rules. She died in custody after being beaten and injured severely.

Now the people are taking a step further and demanding the regime’s overthrow. They do not accept fabricated reforms anymore. The face of these protests differs from the protests of 2019 after gasoline prices increase. The people’s target is the entire regime, especially the supreme leader Ali Khamenei responsible for all the misery the people are suffering from.

Until now more than 164 cities across all the country’s 31 provinces have challenged the regime on the streets, seeking to overcome the regime’s brutality and overthrow the mullahs. Over 300 have been killed by the regime’s security forces and at least 15,000 people have been arrested throughout the country, while the fate of many of them is still unclear. Their families have gathered many times in front of the regime’s prisons and asked for the release of their beloved, but the regime did not respond other than with violence.

It should be noted that now all the regime’s forces are involved in the repression of the people. From its Basij forces to the police, the Revolutionary Guards, and finally the brutal plain cloth agents.

On October 1, the protests started with a nationwide strike. People in Oshnavieh, Baneh, Bukan, Mahabad, etc. closed their shops and businesses in support of the protests. Then the students joined the strike all over the country. Reports indicate that the regime’s forces used violence to stop the students’ protests.

Below is a glimpse of the protests and strikes published on social media.
