Today in Iran there is a sense of calm before storm as both the protesters and security forces are preparing themselves for the Saturday.

Today there were protests in Zahedan, following the bloodbath whereby 93 were killed.

In Mashhad, as a protests, the fountains were turned to blood (obviously just red colour). Something that had been done earlier in Tehran too.

We have several "unconfirmed" reports that the regime is calling

- retired IRGC staff, if they are in good shape and especially if they own bikes
- martial arts coaches and trainers

to join its security forces.

17 year old Setareh Tajik from Afghanistan, survived the Taliban to be killed in Mashhad by the hands of security forces. Her death certificate records the cause of death as "repeated blows by a hard object". Euphemism for being killed by batons.

Meanwhile, Khamenei has warned that the Islamic Republic is a strong tree that cannot be uprooted. This is his second reaction to protests in a span of a week.

Surely he has got the message.

#BREAKING Following the attack of plain-clothed militia to a school in Ardabil, a student has died of internal bleeding. 10 students were injured and 7 were arrested.

We are talking school students. 😢😢😡😡

An outrage has taken hold of Iranian twitter space, disbelief and sheer anger how could one hit a girl student so badly that dies from internal bleeding....

Unspeakable shock, disbelief and anger.
In an irony, today Khamenei was dissing ISIS for killing students in the schools.

This seems to be a video of the protest in Ardabil which led to this incident.

NYT has now covered Zahedan Massacre two weeks ago which I covered on the day.

This is the Ardabil incident which led to a girl being brutally killed by a plain-clothed Basijee

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!

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.

It is a workday hence I just get the lunchtime to tweet - so here is the 🧵 Lunchtime Roundup on the War in Ukraine:
1) Kharkiv is being punished for its resistance with a barrage of MLRS (Grad and Smerch). Reports of dozens of civilian casualties. Very graphic footages of the slain coming out (not this one), which I would not include.

They are creating another Aleppo.

2) Battle in Chernihiv NE of Kyiv is raging with columns of smoke rising from the city.

It is clear Russian forces are not engaging directly while the peace talks are ongoing.

2) A long column of Russian forces approached Kyiv from north west in Bucha south of Gostomel. After demolishing the bridge between Bucha and Iprin, the column was completely obliterated.
