The tenacity of the Iranian regime, after 43 years in power, can be attributed to its relentless domestic crackdown. This religious dictatorship has sustained a pervasive atmosphere of fear across Iranian society, bolstered by an extensive network of intelligence, military, and security institutions. The regime promotes a narrative of invincibility, asserting that no internal dissent or external force can challenge its authority.

However, the ‘Resistance Units’ have emerged as potent disruptors of this oppressive status quo. Operating under the constant watch of surveillance systems and evading the scrutiny of myriad security agents, these groups of courageous young Iranians challenge the symbols of authoritarianism daily. The Resistance Units are at the forefront of dismantling the regime’s oppressive mechanisms, signaling the impending end of its reign of fear.

These units are not only breaking chains of suppression; they are also pivotal in fueling nationwide uprisings. By taking bold actions, they communicate a powerful message to both Iranian society and the global community: the regime is widely despised within Iran and its facade of strength is crumbling. Despite the regime’s arsenal of advanced technology and weaponry—which it uses to imprison, torture, and execute dissenters—it can no longer instill fear in the hearts of the Iranian people.

Seven years in the making, this network now comprises thousands of young activists, men and women, spread across numerous universities and high schools, and in cities, towns, and villages and neighborhoods. These individuals are audaciously operating in broad daylight, galvanizing the populace to confront the mullahs’ regime, and targeting its security apparatus. Each action undertaken by a Resistance Unit sows the seeds of bravery among the people, striking a significant blow to the regime’s longevity.

The Resistance Units play a crucial role in diminishing the regime’s control by engaging in a series of targeted actions that align with several parallel objectives:

1. Breaking the spell of repression by dismantling the regime’s symbols of authority, such as statues and portraits of its leaders;

2. Mobilizing society to articulate their grievances more vocally and in an organized manner;

3. Publicizing significant occasions in the Resistance movement’s history;

4. Disseminating messages from the Resistance’s leadership;

5. Projecting images of the Resistance’s leadership to bolster their visibility and influence;

6. Specifically targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the paramilitary Basij, and various security and intelligence headquarters;

7. Inciting and directing protests and uprisings to politicize them, increasing their impact against the regime.

The overarching aim of the Resistance Units’ varied activities is to lay the groundwork for a nationwide uprising with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the regime. These activities include confronting key pillars of the regime’s control, particularly the IRGC and other significant elements of the security and intelligence infrastructure. By engaging in these actions, the Resistance Units seek to catalyze a broad-based movement within the population, fostering the conditions necessary for a significant and decisive uprising against the current Iranian regime.

Operating under intense surveillance and risking severe reprisals, these activists continue to inspire widespread resistance within Iran. They demonstrate that despite the regime’s use of advanced technology and brutal tactics to suppress opposition, it cannot maintain the fear needed to secure unconditional compliance. The Resistance Units, embedded deeply within the community and engaging across various social platforms, are pivotal in nurturing a spirit of defiance and encouraging widespread public uprising against the regime.

History is replete with examples of mighty conventional armies faltering against grassroots insurgencies. The Resistance Units, embedded within the community and engaging with locals, foster a culture of activism and resistance. Whether in markets, schools, or workplaces, these activists are ever-present, nurturing dissent and using social media platforms to amplify their cause. This grassroots movement is reshaping the narrative, proving that the regime’s power is not as absolute as it seems.

Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has strongly supported right of the Resistance Units to combat the Iranian regime’s repressive forces, in particular their Revolutionary Guards.

Speaking at a conference north of Paris on 9 January 2025, Secretary Pompeo said:

“The roadmap (for regime change) counts on the Iranian people, the organised Resistance network inside at its core, and the ‘Resistance Units’ throughout the country.

These units must be and are the decisive force in the transformation that must be recognised… There’s only a single path, one path to the regime’s end, and that is being achieved by the Iranian people and the organised Resistance inside of Iran.

The only demand of the Resistance is that the recognition of the Iranian people’s plight to bring about the end of the regime is proper; the right of the ‘Resistance Units’ to combat the regime’s repressive forces, especially the IRGC.”

Baluchistan, Iran – 27 December 2024: In Zahedan, a city in south-east Iran renowned for its historical resistance against authoritarian regimes, the Resistance Units have intensified their efforts against the Iranian regime, reaffirming their dedication to dismantling all forms of dictatorship. This surge in activism is marked by a wave of demonstrations featuring placards adorned with revolutionary slogans advocating for the regime’s overthrow and the establishment of democracy in Iran.

The slogans echo a powerful rejection of oppression, articulating demands for change that resonate across the nation. Notable phrases include “From Zahedan to Tehran, down with the oppressor, be it the Shah or the mullahs” and “From Zahedan to Tehran, the key to progress and victory is resistance.” These statements not only reflect a broad ideological commitment but also aim to unite citizens from various regions in their quest for freedom.

The resistance movement has also been vocal about the regime’s ongoing repressive measures, particularly a significant rise in executions. They argue that these actions reveal Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s deep-seated fear of a popular uprising. The recent execution of 19 individuals in Baluchestan serves as a stark example of the regime’s brutality under President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is ironically labelled a “reformist.”

Furthermore, the Resistance Units criticize the regime’s propaganda efforts, asserting that neither the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) nor state media can effectively quell the growing discontent among Iranians. They emphasize that “The tyranny of the shah and mullahs can’t be whitewashed,” and declare a resolute “No to Shah and Mullahs; Khamenei’s rule is coming to an end.”

The regime faces additional challenges from regional developments, such as the decline of the Assad dictatorship in Syria, which the resistance argues could inspire further uprisings and contribute to its downfall. They assert that “Khamenei and IRGC were crushed under the feet of the people of Syria,” indicating a perceived weakening of Iran’s influence abroad.

Central to their message is the belief that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities requires complete regime change, led by its people and supported by resistance efforts. The slogan “Woman Resistance Freedom” encapsulates a broader call for rights and liberties, particularly resonating within Iran’s ongoing women-led protests.

As these activities persist, slogans from Zahedan to Tehran illustrate a population increasingly united in their pursuit of freedom and justice, undeterred by escalating crackdowns and inspired by a vision of a post-dictatorial Iran.

On 15 November 2019, Iran’s regime imposed a sudden hike in the prices of fuel, raising the pressure on the already-struggling people of the country. The people of Iran, living under extreme poverty and fed up with decades of corruption and tyranny, poured into the streets to protest the regime’s destructive policies.

The movement soon turned into a nationwide uprising calling for the overthrow of the regime. The uprising lasted for a week and sent shock-waves throughout the regime. The regime only managed to stay in power through sheer brutality, gunning down unarmed civilians and killing more than 1,500 protesters.

On the fifth anniversary of Iran’s November 2019 uprising, the regime, terrified of a repeat of large-scale protests, deployed suppressive forces and surveillance cameras along every street, avenue, and around government and regime facilities. However, the rebellious youth of Iran defiantly commemorated the anniversary of the grand November uprising with 30 fiery operations targeting the regime’s institutions of oppression and plunder.

The rebellious youth honoured the martyrs of the November uprising of 2019 and attacked Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and Basij bases and symbols and images of the religious dictatorship in 20 cities. The IRGC and specifically its Basij paramilitary forces are the main culprits in suppressing and killing protesters and dissidents during protests.

The youth also targeted facilities belonging to the regime’s criminal judiciary, which has been handing out and carrying out executions at alarming rates in the past months.

In their activities, the rebellious youth set fire to banners, posters, and other symbols that depict the regime’s criminal leaders such as supreme leader Ali Khamenei, regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini, and terror mastermind Qassem Soleimani.

The great November uprising presented, within 48 hours, a lightning-fast image of the regime’s total destruction beneath the wrath of the enraged populace. Now, on the fifth anniversary of that fiery uprising, Iran’s rebellious youth are demonstrating that November 2019 continues, and the blood of the 1,500 martyrs of the uprising burns brightly under the victorious strategy of resistance.

Iran, June 2024: As Iranian regime approaches its presidential election scheduled for Friday,  28 June 2024, the country’s youth are responding with widespread acts of defiance and protest. Despite the regime’s efforts to encourage participation through various publicity tactics, young Iranians are rejecting the electoral process, viewing it as illegitimate.

Across numerous cities, including Tehran, Qazvin, Kamyaran, and Rigan, rebellious youth have engaged in anti-regime activities. These actions include setting fire to propaganda posters, targeting government buildings, and destroying election banners. In Tehran, posters of candidates and officials were burned, while in other cities like Karaj, Mashhad, and Isfahan, similar acts of dissent occurred.

The youth’s actions reflect a broader sentiment among Iranians. Following a parliamentary election in February that saw a reported turnout of only 8%, according to opposition sources, many citizens are expressing their desire for fundamental change rather than participating in what they view as a sham election.

Critics argue that the election lacks legitimacy, with candidates strictly vetted for loyalty to the supreme leader. The unelected Supreme Leader and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) are seen as the true power holders, rendering the presidential role largely symbolic.

This wave of protest comes amid ongoing economic hardships and restrictions on basic freedoms that many Iranians face. The actions of the youth are seen as representing a widespread desire for systemic change, with many calling for revolution rather than participation in the current political system.
