From fiery actions during Khamenei’s burial ceremony to coordinated anti-repression operations and widespread resistance messaging, PMOI Resistance Units intensified their nationwide campaign against Iran’s ruling regime.
The PMOI’s Resistance Units and rebellious youth carried out a new wave of coordinated anti-regime operations across dozens of Iranian cities during the second week of Tir 1405 (late June–early July), targeting symbols of repression, Revolutionary Guard bases, Basij centers, government institutions, and propaganda infrastructure.
The operations coincided with the regime’s burial ceremony for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on July 3, transforming what authorities intended as a display of loyalty into a nationwide demonstration of defiance. Resistance Units described their actions as a response to Khamenei’s legacy of executions, repression, and the killing of thousands of Iranians during his decades in power.
Resistance Units Mark Khamenei’s Burial with 30 Anti-Repression Operations
As the regime organized ceremonies honoring Khamenei, Resistance Units launched 30 coordinated operations in cities across Iran, setting fire to portraits, billboards, and propaganda banners while attacking institutions associated with the regime’s apparatus of repression.
Among the slogans displayed during the operations were:
- “Khamenei, the accursed, hell is waiting for you. We neither forgive nor forget.”
- “Death to Khamenei. Hail to Rajavi.”
- “Death to the oppressor—whether Shah or Supreme Leader.”
- “We swear by the blood of our fallen comrades that we will stand until the end.”
The actions stretched from Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Karaj, Shiraz, Ardabil, Lahijan, Qaemshahr, Behshahr, Saveh, Chabahar, Zahedan, Rask, Mahshahr, and Shahriar to cities across Sistan and Baluchestan, Mazandaran, and Khorasan provinces.
Resistance Units burned numerous portraits and banners of Khamenei, as well as those of Mojtaba Khamenei and Ruhollah Khomeini. Several Basij and IRGC facilities were also targeted, including bases in Sari, Nowshahr, Neyshabur, Torbat-e Heydarieh, Torbat-e Jam, Zahedan, and Mashhad.
Additional operations included explosions at municipal buildings in Esmailabad (Sistan and Baluchestan), an explosion at Rajaei Cultural Center in Mahshahr, and attacks on regime propaganda billboards in Isfahan and Mashhad.
Second Wave of Nationwide Revolutionary Operations
The July operations followed another extensive series of anti-repression actions carried out during the second week of Tir, in which Resistance Units reported 35 additional operations against regime institutions.
According to the Resistance, the campaign targeted “executioners, torturers, agents and mercenaries of the regime’s intelligence services.”
The statement declared:
“The son of Khamenei seeks to preserve power through repression and terrorism, while the son of the Shah seeks to regain power. But after a century, the era of both Shah and Mullahs has come to an end.”
Operations included explosions at government facilities in Saqqez, including the municipal building and the county police command headquarters, as well as attacks on IRGC and Basij installations in Khash, Kermanshah, Borujen, Zahedan, Sabzevar, and Isfahan.
Resistance Units also set fire to dozens of regime propaganda banners in Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, Mashhad, Shiraz, Sari, Kerman, Qazvin, Yazd, Hamadan, Bandar Abbas, Zanjan, Saveh, Shahrud, and Amol.
Several operations featured slogans including:
- “Death to the principle of Velayat-e Faqih. Long live the Liberation Army.”
- “Death to the oppressor—whether Shah or Supreme Leader.”
Resistance Messages Spread Across Zahedan
Alongside the operational campaign, rebellious youth in Zahedan launched an extensive public messaging initiative by displaying resistance slogans and quotations from Resistance leader Maryam Rajavi and PMOI leader Massoud Rajavi throughout the city.
The campaign emphasized the Resistance’s central political slogan:
“Neither Shah nor Mullah.”
The messages reaffirmed support for nationwide protests, democratic change, and the establishment of a democratic republic in Iran.
Among the slogans displayed were:
- “The Iranian Resistance is founded on the principle of ‘Neither Shah nor Mullah.'”
- “Death to the principle of Velayat-e Faqih. Long live the Liberation Army.”
- “The people of Iran will consign both the colonial Shah and the reactionary Mullah to the dustbin of history.”
- “The future of Iran and peace and freedom lie in establishing a democratic republic.”
- “No army or force in the world is stronger than our determination for freedom.”
- “Iran’s democratic revolution will put an end to religious dictatorship.”
- “The only path to saving the Iranian people from hunger is uprising and rebellion against the ruling tyrants.”
The campaign also addressed Iran’s worsening economic crisis, denouncing soaring bread prices, corruption, water shortages, and what activists described as the regime’s diversion of national resources toward repression, its nuclear program, missile development, and regional military interventions.
Several messages called on students, teachers, and educators across the country to support ongoing student protests, emphasizing unity and continued demonstrations as the path toward achieving democratic change.
A Coordinated Campaign of Defiance
Taken together, the three campaigns illustrate the Resistance Units’ continuing strategy of combining symbolic acts of resistance, direct actions against institutions of repression, and widespread political messaging.
Throughout the operations, one theme remained consistent: rejection of both Iran’s current clerical dictatorship and any return to monarchy, encapsulated in the slogan repeatedly displayed across the country:
“Neither Shah, nor Mullah—Freedom and a Democratic Republic.”
The coordinated actions demonstrate that despite intensified repression, Resistance Units continue to carry out anti-regime operations across multiple provinces while promoting their vision of democratic change through organized resistance and popular uprising.
