These activists have launched an extensive campaign aimed at challenging the ruling regime and its supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, whom they hold accountable for regional turmoil and internal repression.
Cities throughout Iran, from Rasht in the north to Khorramabad in the west, have become arenas for bold expressions of dissent. In Rasht, activists have provocatively declared, “Our battlefield is Iran, Iran is the head of the snake in Tehran,” directly targeting Khamenei’s leadership and policy direction. This message, echoing across urban centers, underscores a growing discontent with Iran’s involvement in regional conflicts, often perceived as costly distractions from domestic issues.
The resistance’s message is amplified in Karaj, where images of Masoud Rajavi, a leading figure in the Iranian Resistance, accompany calls for an organized movement to overthrow the current regime. This sentiment is mirrored in the capital, Tehran, where leaflets featuring Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), champion “Woman, Resistance, Freedom,” highlighting the critical role of women in the struggle against oppression.
The campaign is multifaceted, employing graffiti, public demonstrations, and the distribution of placards and leaflets to disseminate its messages. These activities not only signify a rejection of the regime’s authoritarian grip but also a clear call for change, resonating particularly as Nowruz symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings.
Moreover, the resistance’s focus on women’s rights and their pivotal role in the movement confronts the regime’s misogynistic policies head-on. In cities like Zabul, Sanandaj, and Shiraz, the call for women’s freedom is loud, clear, and widespread, reflecting a national movement that transcends regional boundaries.
The regime’s response has been predictably repressive, with efforts to demonize the PMOI and its supporters through media and harsh penalties for activists. Yet, these actions have seemingly failed to curb the growing support for the Resistance Units, which continue to expand their ranks and influence.
As Nowruz approaches, these activities not only highlight a yearning for freedom and democracy but also embody the resistance’s hope for an Iran liberated from the shadows of authoritarianism. This Nowruz, the spirit of renewal is palpable not just in the air but in the streets and walls of cities across Iran, marking a potent symbol of the resistance’s undying resolve.
