The Consequences of A Corrupt and Rigged Selection
With less than a day after the Iranian regime declared Ebrahim Raisi as the winner of its sham presidential election, feudal fighting in Tehran and social unrest in different parts of the country have erupted.
In Jiroft, the South-center of Iran, locals expressed their hatred against those who dared to show up at polling stations to cast their vote; either because of their political affiliation or economic dependency on the regime.
In Yasuj, Southwestern Iran, people clashed with the police over fraud in the city council elections. Also in Karun, Southwestern Iran, even those who have voted couldn’t tolerate the level of fraud and rigging in the ruling system and raised their voices to protest.

June 20 Marks the 40th Anniversary of Resistance Against the Iranian Regime- The Historical Red Line Separating Freedom and Religious Tyranny
The boycott was the most significant political and social blow to the mullahs’ supreme leader Ali Khamenei and the religious fascism. It proved and showed to the world that the Iranian people’s only vote is to overthrow the mullahs’ regime. The nationwide boycott is a groundswell of the martyrs’ sacrifices and reflects the Iranian people’s great campaign for justice.
Today it is evident to all that a viper never gives birth to a dove. The absolute rule of a jurisprudent, i.e., the Velayat-e Faqih regime, is inherently incapable of reform. It does not have the capacity for moderation, and it will never accept free elections. #FreeIran2021 pic.twitter.com/tB1TsgmkII
