Day 195 and 196 - #COVID19 in Iran

A brief update - not taking your time more than I should

Picking up from two days ago:
[Current Outlook]
Grave impacts of Ashura ceremonies now are coming to the full light: 2nd wave not over yet we are moving to a possibly worse peak. I am calling it Ashura peak.

Cases in the holy city of Qom have exploded, other places following suit.
If you remember, just two days ago I reported number of admitted cases in Qom had reached 386, very slowly crept up from <100 3 months ago. Just in two days it has jumped to 450!

Authorities have warned that the situation is beyond Red. Just on Wednesday 92 new patients admitted in Qom (1.2M) hospitals.

In the city of Tabriz (1.8M), East Azerbaijan (3.7M), just in one day admissions jumped by 50%.

Similar jump of new cases were seen in the province of Gilan (2.5M) although numbers are nowhere near the 1st wave.

We are losing more and more medical staff.

Leaving you tonight with an interesting and independent poll, shining some light into how the Iranian society is changing under the rule of its Islamic rulers. Well, it appears not towards embracing Islam...

Good night and stay safe.

Back in 1994, a bombing in Mashhad's holy shrine of 8th Shia Imam killed 25 and injured 70.

This bombing was attributed to MEK, a terrorist organisation that back then was reinventing itself as a political opposition.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imam_Reza…
It then, however, turned out to be the work of Islamic Republic's own intelligence ministry. They finally accepted that an "autonomous cell" within the ministry led by Saied Emami had gone rogue and planned and executed the attack. Image
With that in the back of Iranian minds, terrorist attack on Shah Cheragh shrine in Shiraz was immediately dismissed as the work of the Islamic Republic itself, especially considering the timing (protests).

But it is undeniable that ISIS has claimed responsibility and released πŸ‘‡ Image

43rd day of #IranProtests following the killing of #MahsaAmini

I am not sure even where to start.

Today, dozens of cities around the world will witness human chains of Iranians extending for miles.

This has been planned for London too, sadly I do not feel well enough to go. Image
After weeks and weeks of reactive handling of the protests in the hope of them fizzling out, today the regime is planning to use today's burial procession of Shiraz terrorist attack victims to take the initiative back again.

IRGC Commander again declared the end of protests. ImageImageImageImage
As you can see from the images above, even for a neutral event where everyone would condemn such cowardly terrorist attack (and I do too), the regime failed to bring masses to the street.

Believe me I chose busiest pics, check them for yourself.

Protesters on their return captured governor building and there were tense clashes in all of Kurdistan and several others have been shot dead. Image
There are protests in several towns and cities across Iran.

#BREAKING The country is in turmoil and it feels like the regime is losing the grip - which is not necessarily good news since this might mean we enter a military phase.

People are reported to be in control of Town of Mahabad in Kurdistan

Inconsistencies around the story on attack to Shah Cheragh in Shiraz have been discovered.

First of all, ISIS statements is dated 30th of Rabi Al-Awwal month yet it has only 29 days! Today is 1st of Rabi Al-Thani

Image
Funny thing is that taghvim.com website used commonly by Iranians says today is 30th of Rabi al-Awwal. All other calendars say today is 1st of Rabi-ali-Thaani.

It cannot be ISIS! Image
My Arab followers, can you please tell me what day it is according to Hijri calendar?

Some calendars I found say 28th, some 29th, some 1st ...
