1) During the past few weeks, the city of Izeh in southwest #Iran has witnessed many developments.
The regime has been going the distance to keep a lid on intense armed clashes between locals and its security forces, resulting in many setbacks for the regime.
—At least three locals killed in clashes/under torture, more than 700-800 arrested
—Hossein Saeedi and Mahmoud Ahmadi among the locals killed

Saeedi & Ahmadi were killed. Several others arrested.
Mr. Mojahed Kurkur may also have been killed.

Sec. Pompeo
The movement in #Iran is not in disarray. It will have its peaks and moments. The Iranian people, however, are determined to bring and end to the mullahs' regime that is incapable of changing. #IranRevoIution
Sec Pompeo
3 months of powerful unyielding protests don't happen randomly. They're not the product of foreign meddling. #Iran's regime loves to lie & say that it is so. These protests are the result of 40 years of organized opposition. #IranRevoIution twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
