OK, I have been busy (and also a bit unwell) today now opening my twitter and I see, my timeline is full of protest videos!

#MahsaAmini #NikaShakarami #IranRevolution #مهسا_امینی

There has been some calls for protest by Iranian Arabs of Khuzestan for tomorrow Friday - which I felt was perhaps a bit too soon and might clash with the typical Saturday protests.

But Khuzestan already started tonight:

Ahvaz, the capital (1.3M)

More Ahvaz.

This is quite significant since Khuzestan has been somehow quiet.

Sanandaj today

Abhar!! 88K pop. in Zanjan province (north-central)

There are numerous videos from other places but cannot confirm they are from tonight.

#IMPORTANT Meanwhile I am listening to conversations in Clubhouse where in a room full of devout but moderate conservatives in Iran, they are publicly pondering the possible plans around pushing Khamenei aside to save the regime.

First time ever! Not sure what to make of it.

#VERY_POWERFUL Mohammad Omrani, a famous Iranian actor, has shared this video. This rocks you to the core. I am shaken getting goosenumps...

Watch it with SUBTITLES.

#MahsaAmini #NikaShakarami #IranRevolution #مهسا_امینی

Due to Mahsa being a Kurd, rhe regime has been pushing the narrative that this wave of protest is organised by the separatist movements.

Today in Ahvaz, people are chanting "Sanandaj [Kurdistan], Zahedan [Balochistan] are the lights of Iran"

#Shocking pictures emerged from yesterday's protests in Tehran were a girl is surrounded by fully armed security forces an while she is being pushed, she is being sexually assaulted and pulled by her hair

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.

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 👇

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.

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.

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.

#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

#MahsaAmini #IranRevolution #مهسا_امینی

Last night a protester was killed in Mahabad (168K) and today seems like most the population were on the street

#BREAKING

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

https://twitter.com/AZgeopolitics/status/1585338390735884289?s=20&t=HvCwI-DsGeXRfajg5PxEQA

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!

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 ...
