Iranian popular protests a fixture so long as the mullahs rule, official warns

KowsariNCRI – A senior-ranking member of the Iranian regime’s parliament warned other ‎officials that popular protests against the clerical regime will remain as a permanent ‎political phenomenon as long as the regime holds power.

Kowsari, a Deputy Chairman of the Security Committee in the mullahs’ Majlis ‎‎(Parliament), referred to popular uprisings by the Iranian people as “sedition” and added, ‎‎“The sedition is not specific to today or yesterday, but as long as the Islamic Republic ‎exists, these seditionists will not abandon their actions against the establishment.”‎

Kowsari pointed to the comments by the mullahs’ Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and ‎said, “The Leader warned that people should not forget about the sedition, because the ‎enemy can strike again in different forms and at any time.”‎

Kowsari made a veiled reference to the deeply rooted popular angst and opposition to the ‎regime in Iranian society and said, “There is a long precedent and the enemies of Islam ‎have been planning various plots to harm the Islamic Republic since the very beginning.”‎
