Mrs. Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Post on X<\/h3>\n

Mrs. Rajavi<\/a>, in a post about the Tuesday night protests in Tehran and other cities, said: \u201cOn Tuesday night, Tehran and many other cities once again became the scene of direct confrontation between the people and rebellious youth on one side, and the regime\u2019s violent IRGC forces on the other. Yet the fearless youth, alongside resolute women and girls, are bringing the clerical regime, despite all its brutality, to its knees and are paving the way for freedom and democracy. The regime\u2019s escalating repressive measures across multiple cities, the deployment of heavy weapons into the streets, and the digital lockdown imposed on all of Iran only underscore Khamenei\u2019s failure in the face of a people who have risen.\u201d<\/p>\n
