Kayhan added: "(They) are from the same counter-revolutionary groups that always existed during the past 30 years of the revolution and the [Islamic] state. There is no political system without opposition… Today the enemy has targeted the core of the power, the central point of the guidance of the system and the leadership of the revolution."

The daily described the current situation as "gloomy" and full of "conspiracies” and called on the clerical authorities to stop the uprisings by more suppression without any "neglect or hesitation."
