Iran’s nationwide uprising marked its 101st  day today following a new outburst of nightly protests by people from all walks of life in cities checkered across the country. Protesters braved the bitter winter cold and snowfall in many cities, including Tehran, Mashhad, Sanandaj, Isfahan, and Bandar Abbas, among others, to launch anti-regime protests with slogans such as “Death to Khamenei!” and “Death to the dictator!” referring directly to the regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

In Mahabad, northwest Iran, locals continued the nationwide protests against the regime and established roadblocks.

In Bandar Anzali, northern Iran, protesters targeted a local site of the regime’s IRGC paramilitary Basij units with Molotov cocktails in the early hours after midnight local time.

In Bukan, northwest Iran, locals gathered to mark the 40th day of protesters murdered by the regime’s oppressive security forces and chanted: “Death to Khamenei!” Protesters also established roadblocks to prevent the passage of repressive security forces and to uplift the spirit of protesters against the regime; they chanted: “Martyrs don’t die!”

In Isfahan, central Iran, protesters torched a large poster of former IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani.

In Tehran, students at the capital’s Sharif University boycotted their classes and held a gathering in support of the ongoing revolution.

Near Kamyaran, western Iran, locals gathered to mark the 40th day of Borhan Karami’s murder by the regime’s security forces, and the ceremony quickly turned into scenes of anti-regime protests.

In Khomeinishahr, Isfahan Province, central Iran, protesters, using Molotov cocktails, targeted a local site of the regime’s IRGC paramilitary Basij site.
