IRAN: Latest and Breaking News

https://en.mehrnews.com/news/212356/190-thousand-police-forces-ready-to-secure-elections


My father took me to vote in the " referendum , " for the Islamic Republic . He said that by having my birth certificate stamped , that they will not cause problems for me later . Even then I knew , as a young 18 year old , that what was needed was a democratic Republic and not a right wing religious dictatorship . Five years later , I was exiled under the pain of imprisonment or worse , for the crime of supporting Iranian democratic left socialist parties . Looks like I was right by not wanting to vote for the supposed " Islamic , " Republic , and my father was wrong . I have not since voted in a single election , nor will I ever vote for this dictatorial system . The present political system already lacks legitimacy , by low voter turnout . Voting now legitimizes minority rule , ineffective in addressing social problems . Not voting , removes legitimacy from the present dictatorial right wing rule . The second alternative is better , together with the population forming political parties freely . It is better to not have a bad parliament and constitution and laws and have people focus attention on forming a new democratic Republic , however long it takes and at whatever cost .

It is clear that even with the unreliable figures provided by pro-state sources ,  that voter turnout overall is low to very low . So low  that it removes legitimacy from the state and government apparatus . If these elections were a referendum on the Islamic Republic , then the Islamic Republic has little to no legitimacy . Referendum that govern the framework of other laws need higher majorities to be valid . Laws that govern the lives of fewer people , such as local laws need smaller majorities .

There is now no legitimacy to any parliament or state apparatus or laws passed . The Iranian people are not obliged to follow the dictatorship of the minority . The minority appointed to power by state apparatus . People should particularly reject any law they find as discriminatory , exploitative , or restrictive of their freedoms . People should form freely their own political parties and own political programmes and change the constitution into a democratic Republic .


".......Country analysts expect a nationwide turnout of between 30% and 50%, while state polling center ISPA estimated the turnout in Tehran at just 23.5% and 38.5% nationally. The figures would represent a continuation of recent years; the year 2020 saw the lowest-ever official turnout rate for a parliamentary election in Iran, at just over 40%, and 2021 featured its lowest-ever presidential election turnout."

As low as 27% overall and only 12% in Tehran ? Is the collapse of the Islamic Republic !

The terrorists had carried out this operation in small groups of several people and were equipped with explosive belts.

The operation to clear terrorists from different areas of Chabahar and Rask continued until noon today. In Chabahar, a three-person team of terrorists tried to enter the coastal police base, and all three of them were killed, and the operation in this area ended this morning.

The terrorists also failed to attack the IRGC HQs and some terrorists fled to nearby houses and took some civilians hostage. This made the cleaning operation difficult and the cleaning operation lasted for hours. The operation to save the lives of these hostages continued with full caution until noon today and finally ended with the killing of all the terrorists.

During the Mahsa Amini protests , the Balouch also came demonstrating . Compelled by economic hardship , yet wrongly blaming Shia discrimination and chanting confused and meaningless slogans . Many were shot and killed . Twice the number per population than most other counties . This giving rise to hatred and more calls for armed uprising and separatism , probably fuelled further by outsiders . The struggle in Iran is a class and national struggle . Not a religious or ethnic struggle . The state in some places handled the chaos well . Imprisonment followed by release , without criminal records . Use of paint ball guns instead of real bullets . But in places , some , wearing other's uniform , or out of uniform , opened fire and killed and blinded . And some , known to security forces , distributed poison gas in girl schools . State terrorism , versus sectarian terrorism ! If Iranian people will not organise themselves , then the enemy will organise them ( against each other ) !
