Toppling Iran’s Tyrants Would Sever Head Of The Snake Fuelling Many Middle East Conflicts

Hiding behind proxies to do their warmongering for decades, the Iranian regime has finally broken cover and launched an unprecedented and chilling missile and suicide drone attack on IsraelIran was joined in the assault by their ‘axis of resistance’ cronies in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq. It was a fatal mistake.

The attack served to mobilise the Americans and British as Israel’s key allies. President Joe Biden has reiterated that US support for Israel is “ironclad”. Israeli retaliation against the mullahs is now a racing certainty, ratcheting up tension in the Middle East and focusing international attention on the head of the snake – Tehran. The downfall of the Iranian regime would, at a stroke, sever the main artery supplying Bashar al-Assad in Syria, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the Shia militias in Iraq, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.

“Woman Resistance Freedom” Signals The Destruction of The Mullahs’ Regime in Iran

During his Eid al-Fitr sermon, Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei made threats against women and ordered more repressive measures against Iran’s women. Following these comments, police departments in eastern and western Tehran announced that “the hijab and modesty plan will be more implemented in earnest on Saturday, April 13, in all public places and streets.” Simultaneously, State Security Forces began threatening women in various provinces, including Bushehr, Kermanshah, and Semnan, with statements outlining repressive measures against them.

Iranian Workers Protest Low Wage Increase

A labor activist, quoted by Iran’s state-run news agency ILNA, criticized the dire conditions faced by the country’s workers. “The situation is grim,” they said. “Workers and their representatives are deeply dissatisfied with the Labor Minister’s performance and demand his impeachment.”

“Not only have worker problems not been addressed, but decisions made in the past two years have actually worsened their situation,” they continued. “Mr. Minister! Workers can no longer afford basic necessities, and the proposed 35% wage increase will only make things worse.”

Saeed Fatahi, head of the East Azarbaijan Workers’ Trade Unions, spoke to ILNA about his opposition to the 2024 wage resolution. “The Iranian Rial has collapsed, with the exchange rate exceeding 60 million tomans per US dollar. Despite promises to control inflation, employer and government representatives have only offered a meager 35% minimum wage increase,” he explained. “They completely disregarded even the official inflation rate announced by the central bank in February.”
