A report on Iran’s protests in the 3rd week of February 2019
Coincident with the Warsaw conference, which was focused on the destabilizing role of the Iran regime in the Middle East, and the rallies of the supporters of the Iranian resistance (NCRI) in Europe, who demanded the international community to take a firm stance against Iran’s Mullahs, we witnessed an increase in the protests in the cities of Iran. The people from different walks of life, including workers, retirees, plundered people and other strata took to the streets, demanding their legitimate rights.
The people are well aware that the government is in complete deadlock and is unable to solve any problems. They shouted in their slogans:
“Both the Parliament and the Government do not care about the nation,” and “O, Savior, eradicate the cruel regime!”
The national protests will continue.
