News from Al-Madinah: In the midst of nationwide demonstrations following the death of the young woman Muhsa Amini in September, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi declared today, Sunday, that security in Iran is a “red line” and it would not be allowed to be undermined by those he dubbed the “enemy.”
“The security is the red line of the Islamic Republic, and we will not allow the enemy to implement its plans in any way to undermine this valuable national wealth.
“This comes as Iranian protesters gathered once more on Sunday, rejecting a command from the Revolutionary Guards to put an end to the rallies, which are now in their seventh week since the young woman’s death galvanised her faithful.
Even though Major General Hussein Salami, the commander of the Revolutionary Guard, had warned the demonstrators not to do so, students protested on Saturday night and Sunday in Iran “Stay away from the streets.
” Amini died on September 16 at the age of 22, after being arrested in Tehran for accusing her of violating the strict dress rules imposed on women in Iran, which sparked a wave of turmoil and pushed power to respond to it through a brutal suppression campaign.
The security forces have made an effort to contain the female-led rallies, which have grown into a larger uprising against the 1979-established Islamic Republic regime.
