Amid a new wave of protests against the leadership in Iran, international pressure on the regime is growing. In 'Graz', a human chain is planned to show solidarity with the Iranian civilian population. Organized by the association 'Woman Life Freedom', the event aims to set a sign against human rights violations and oppression. The organizers emphasize the non-partisan nature of the rally, which is explicitly aimed at all supporters of the democracy movement.
At the same time, iconic footage is gaining worldwide attention. A video of a woman lighting a cigarette from a burning portrait of 'Ayatollah' 'Chamenei' has become a symbol of resistance. However, fact checks revealed that the recording was made in 'Canada' and not directly in Iran, which underlines the reach of the exile opposition. The situation within the country itself remains precarious: reports of orders to shoot and massive internet blackouts make communication difficult. Security experts also point to the strategic importance of the alliance between Iran and Russia. Tehran's military support for Moscow in the 'Ukraine' conflict illustrates the far-reaching geopolitical entanglements of the 'Mullah'-regime.
Meanwhile, the international community is calling for stronger sanctions. While US President 'Trump' leaves diplomatic and military options open, the demand in Europe is growing to place the 'Revolutionsgarden' on the terror list to weaken the economic basis of the oppression.
