In February 2022, a wave of activities by the Resistance Units in Iran shocked the regime as it prepared to celebrate the 43rd anniversary of the mullahs’ rise to power.

On 9 February 2022, the Resistance Units used the public address system in Bazaar Reza, the main market in Mashhad, Iran’s second-largest city located in the northeast, to air anti-regime slogans which denounced the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The slogans included:

• “Down with Khamenei, Viva Rajavi!”
• “Down with oppressors, be it the Shah or the [Supreme] Leader!”
• “Down with Khamenei! Damn Khomeini! Viva MEK!”

A song was also broadcast with this verse: “Rise up to uproot the enemy’s castle!”

On 10 February 2022, similar actions took place in Shahr-e Rey (south of Tehran), and Sarasiab and Fardis districts of Karaj, a major city located west of Tehran. Loudspeakers in crowded places played anti-regime slogans including:

• “Death to Khamenei, Viva Rajavi”
• “Iranians are well aware and hate the Shah and mullahs!”
• “No to crowns and turbans, the mullahs’ days are over!”
• “Death to Khamenei! Damn Khomeini!”
• “Down with Khamenei and Raisi!”

In Sarasiab, segments of a speech delivered by NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi regarding the overthrow of the mullahs’ regime, and a speech delivered by Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi about the “heroic Iranian people overthrowing the regime” were broadcast repeatedly.

On 11 February 2022, the anniversary of the 1979 Revolution, anti-regime slogans were aired from the loudspeakers of a branch of the Saderat Bank in Shahriar, west of Tehran.

The audio included slogans that called the regime’s President Ebrahim Raisi a butcher, urged the overthrow of the mullahs’ regime, and hailed MEK leaders.
