Therefore, as we had previously warned, we will restart our national strikes and pursue our demands by gathering in front of our workplaces.

Following the widespread boycott of the regime’s sham presidential election on June 19, protests have erupted in Iran. The regime’s state-controlled media have warned of the implications of the nationwide election boycott, which highlighted the Iranian people’s desire for regime change.

“Ignoring the tens of millions of Iranians who did not vote or cast invalid votes is a major strategic mistake that, if sustained, could have irreparable consequences and even jeopardize the survival of the regime. The [regime] should either hear the message of this silent protest or wait for the consequences of people’s boycott of the ballot box,” On Monday, the state-run Hamdeli daily published an article.
