Mahshahr is adjacent to the nation\u2019s largest industrial petrochemical complex and serves as a gateway to Bandar Imam, a major port.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In many places, security forces responded by opening fire on unarmed protesters, largely unemployed or low-income young men between the ages of 19 and 26, according to witness accounts and videos. In the southwest city of Mahshahr alone, witnesses and medical personnel said,\u00a0Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps members surrounded, shot and killed 40 to 100 demonstrators \u2014 mostly unarmed young men \u2014 in a marsh where they had sought refuge.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For three days, according to these residents, protesters had successfully gained control of most of Mahshahr and its suburbs, blocking the main road to the city and the adjacent industrial petrochemical complex. Iran\u2019s interior minister confirmed that the protesters had gotten control over Mahshahr and its roads in a televised interview last week, but the Iranian government did not respond to specific questions in recent days about the mass killings in the city\u201d<\/em>.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Amnesty International addresses the massacre in Shahriar:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe number of people believed to have been killed during demonstrations in Iran that broke out on 15 November has risen to at least 208, said Amnesty International, based on credible reports received by the organization. The real figure is likely to be higher.

However, these demonstrations turned violent in the span of a day, showing the danger looming ahead for Iran\u2019s government as it likely faces further hard choices ahead as sanctions look unlikely to be lifted as it has begun breaking centrifuges, enrichment and stockpile limitations in the nuclear deal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThese riots are not the last ones and it definitely will happen in the future,\u201d Revolutionary Guard acting commander Gen.

It has a complete resemblance to the brutal killing of people on the bloody date Sept. 8, 1978,\u201d Mousavi said, according to the statement published by the Kaleme website long associated with him. \u201cThe assassins of the year of 1978 were representatives of a non-religious regime, but the agents and shooters in November 2019 were representatives of a religious government.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\"><strong>[6]<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to what happened in the 1979 revolution and the 2009 \u201cgreen revolution\u201d the death figures were concentrated in few days.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2009 wave of protests dubbed \u201cGreen Revolution\u201d 72 protesters were killed along ten months.<\/p>\n<p>The 1979 revolution saw 2,781 killed along 15 months:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Martyrs Foundation later commissioned \u2013 but did not publish &#8211; a study of those killed in the course of the whole revolutionary movement, beginning in June 1963. According to these figures, 2,781 demonstrators were killed in the fourteen months from October 1977 to February 1979. Most of the victims were in the capital \u2013 especially in the southern working-class districts of Tehran\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\">[7]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whither Iran?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Definitely it is difficult to predict whether the mass protests will turn into a full-scale revolution that can bring down the Velayat e-Faqih regime and pave the way for workers\u2019 power and a socialist Iran based on democratic workers\u2019 councils.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the hindrances for the regime to remain in power are strong: the looming world recession, the brutal U.S. economic sanctions and the ongoing revolutions across the world mainly in Iraq and Lebanon where Iranian regime prestige is at stake.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side, the regime benefits from the absence of national workers\u2019 and people\u2019s organizations like labor federations or people\u2019s councils. These organizations might unite the protests in the streets to workers\u2019 strikes like in the 1979 revolution, build self-defense to fight back the brutal repression becoming democratic centers for the exploited and the oppressed.<\/p>\n<p>Another critical absence is the revolutionary party. There are activists in and outside Iran who have the potential to build such a organization which is critical for any moment, be it to publicize the conditions of the working classes and to build solidarity with protests and political prisoners, be it for moments of revolutionary crisis when it is necessary to prevent the revolution from being kidnapped or betrayed.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, what calls the attention is that the sudden and ruthless repression shows that the regime knows that the \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d period is over and workers\u2019 and people\u2019s protests have come to stay.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2019\/11\/iran-cia-links-arrested-inciting-deadly-protests-191127170333511.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2019\/11\/iran-cia-links-arrested-inciting-deadly-protests-191127170333511.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" name=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/12\/01\/world\/middleeast\/iran-protests-deaths.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/12\/01\/world\/middleeast\/iran-protests-deaths.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref3\" name=\"_ftn3\">[3]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2019\/12\/iran-death-toll-from-bloody-crackdown-on-protests-rises-to-208\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2019\/12\/iran-death-toll-from-bloody-crackdown-on-protests-rises-to-208\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref4\" name=\"_ftn4\">[4]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/7a4dec6db2ab451bbb6c6cab4b524a79\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/7a4dec6db2ab451bbb6c6cab4b524a79<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref5\" name=\"_ftn5\">[5]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/7a4dec6db2ab451bbb6c6cab4b524a79\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/7a4dec6db2ab451bbb6c6cab4b524a79<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref6\" name=\"_ftn6\">[6]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/38c1c25858e34cd6b38c2e093158f88f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/38c1c25858e34cd6b38c2e093158f88f<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref7\" name=\"_ftn7\">[7]<\/a> Abrahamian, Ervand, The History of Modern Iran, 2<sup>nd<\/sup> edition, 2018, Cambridge University Press, pages 165-166<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The people\u2019s protests which started on November 15 against the fuel price rise are already the largest ones since the 1979 Iranian revolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13527,"menu_order":476,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"litci_post_political_author":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[4355],"class_list":["post-13526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iran","tag-2019-iranian-protests"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Will the Iranian Mass Protests Stop?
