Top Official Admits to Regime’s Failure in Spreading Propaganda
Desperate to control the restive society and curbing social media in raising public awareness, Iran’s top official acknowledges the regime’s miserable failure to spread propaganda.
“We are facing a two-fold aggressive strategy from the enemy. The first is the combined war, and the second is cognitive warfare. Sadly, due to the previous government’s negligence, we have lost the guidance infrastructures to control public opinion, paving the way for social media to become a prominent source of influence,” IRGC Brig. Gen. Gholamreza Jalal, head of the regime’s Inactive Defense Organization, told the state-run Entekhab website on November 14.

Eyewitness reports from MEK Resistance Units
- Tehran, a report from Somayeh, a female member of a resistance unit – “In their conversations, people seem to have become optimistic and hopeful about the overthrow of the regime. I know someone who was very pessimistic and disappointed in the past, but even he was full of excitement and hope. People are talking about weapons being exchanged among young people across the country, and the uprising appears to be entering a new phase.
- Estahban, Fars province in the south of Iran (pop. 36,000) – A mullah named Farajpour, a teacher at Abedini School, was narrating the story about Mahsa Amini in a class and denying that she had been hit by the morality police, rather she went into shock and died. The students objected to his lies and chanted against the regime and ran him out of school.
Iran Uprising’s “Death with Khamenei” Slogan Disturbs Regime Officials
“The enemy has plans to target the Supreme Leader. This plan is spearheaded by the [MEK]. This is how they disrespect our holy leader,” Iran’s state TV quoted Mehdi Rabani, Khamenei’s representative in Mahallat, Markazi province, on November 13.
“Our enemy had planned for these riots, cloaking this sedition in righteous protests and demands. But we all witnessed how they disrespected the leader and what they had in mind,” he added.
Since the beginning of the nationwide uprising in Iran, one of the main popular slogans has been “Death to [Ali] Khamenei,” the regime’s supreme leader. Iranians across the board view Khamenei as the main reason for their socio-economic misery as he represents the entire ruling theocracy. While all previous attempts to distract public anger have failed and as protesters continue to chant slogans against Khamenei, his representative and other senior officials become more concerned and warn about how the focus is masterminded.

EU Pressured to Punish Iran Over Arming Russia
Iran’s increasing military support for Russia’s war in Ukraine will be a key topic when EU foreign and defense ministers gather in Brussels starting today. The bloc will adopt sanctions on Iran over its violent crackdown on peaceful protestors, but some ministers want additional punitive measures over Tehran’s drone and missile transfers to Russia. A top Russian security official met with Iranian leaders in Tehran last week to discuss “strategic cooperation.”
“We are witnessing the fight for freedom and justice, and we are witnessing how Iranian drones are attacking Ukrainian cities and how they are killing people,” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said at the weekend. “All of this is completely unacceptable.”

From November to the Spring of the Democratic Revolution
Three years have passed since the November 2019 uprising. Nevertheless, the sacrifice of more than 1,500 martyrs of that revolutionary rebellion was not in vain, and the unwavering resolve of those who created that magnificent uprising never stopped. Within 48 hours, that powerful tornado provided a roadmap to the definitive destruction of the clerical regime in its entirety. And today, that sacrifice and that uprising have morphed into a movement that heralds the spring of Iran’s democratic revolution and the prospects of its victory. The people of Iran are resolved to overthrow the Velayat-e faqih regime and to establish a democratic republic.
