Iran is aware of its current situation in the world and this wave of protests has once again put it in the eye of the hurricane on the geopolitical board. For this reason, the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and the Revolutionary Guard Intelligence Organization have emphatically stated that the protests are being fomented by the CIA with the cooperation of the intelligence services of the United Kingdom, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The protests are being heavily repressed by the security forces and have caused at least 108 deaths, according to the Oslo-based NGO Iran Human Rights. However, other organizations and associations in defense of Human Rights raise the figure to 250 killed. In addition, thousands of people have been arrested, including at least 45 journalists and photographers, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

constant threats
The Revolutionary Guard Commander Hossein Salamihas warned the protesters that this Saturday will be the last day they would go out on the street. “Don’t go out on the streets! Today is the last day of the riots”, has warned. This message appears to be one more threat from Khamenei’s regime to those who decide to protest a situation about which little has changed despite weeks of intense demands from inside and outside Iran.
The Middle Eastern country, one of the most powerful in this area of the world, has been involved in protests that have not stopped for more than a month and are questioning the doctrines imposed by the ayatollahs.
On Friday, videos posted on social media showed protesters calling for the death of the supreme leaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei, and the Basij militiawhich has played an important role in the repression of the demonstrators.
The protests over Amini’s death are led above all by young people and women shouting “Woman, life, freedom!” who launch slogans against the Government and burn veils, one of the symbols of the Islamic Republic and something unthinkable not long ago.
