My take:
The regime in #Iran is gearing for possible protests tomorrow, December 26.
Families of killed protesters are planning to hold ceremonies. Authorities fear this could spark into more anti-regime unrest.

Tabriz, northwest #Iran
Security forces parading the streets to install fear among locals & prevent any possible protest during ceremonies scheduled for Dec. 26 to commemorate slain protesters.
#IranProtests
Sanandaj, western #Iran
Similar footage of authorities dispatching large number of security forces to install fear.

My take:
These are the signs of a very weak & fragile regime.

More effort to install fear among locals to prevent any protests that might erupt during gatherings scheduled for tomorrow, December 26.

1)
 Let’s talk about @SMalekian & her recent @ABC piece pushing already debunked #Iran talking points about U.S. sanctions restricting access to medicine.

It’s good to know Malekian is quite fond of @JZarif.

Tehran lobby group @NIACouncil is coming to her support.
2)
 First, let’s prove how this narrative - “U.S. sanctions restricting medicine access in Iran” - is a lie.

The regime's own Health Minister says:
“No Major Shortage of Medicine in Iran”
tasnimnews.com/en/news/2019/1…
3)
 Chief of staff of Iran's president has said in a letter that one billion euros ($1.12 billion) in hard currency allocated for importing medicines and essential goods “has disappeared”.

#Iran: several thousand people gathered o the central market in the Arab city of #Ahwaz to protest against the Iranian regime and what they describe as "discriminating policies against the Arab people"
#Iran: the situation later turned violent after Iranian police tried to break up the Arab protest in #Ahwaz, using tear gas and rubber bullets on the people.

The protests are a response to insults being made towards the Arab people on Iranian TV
#Iran: the Arab city of #Ahwaz today. Women are facing off against the Iranian police as they protest the regime's discriminating policies
