World Threats

As Iran approaches the 22 Bahman celebrations of the Khomeini revolution in 1979, these events have been reported to World Threats.

Mullah Mohammad Dastqaib, a member of the Assembly of Experts, said, “IT is not right that only one person would be responsible for the country’s affairs. Three must be law and Supreme Leadership must be inserted in the law. These days all the country’s affairs are handled by RGC and SSF and people do not participate in the affairs and this is the source of divergence from 22nd Bahman of 1979.”

The uprising of the people of Lar is in its seventh day with attacks on government banks and bureaus. (Feb. 8)

The government has replaced plastic trash cans with metal trash cans to prevent the people form setting the trash cans on fire.

Mullah Larijani threatened, “anybody who takes a step against the system on 22nd Bahman will be decisively confronted. Judiciary along with SSF and security forces will decisively stand in front of anti-revolutionaries and dissidentsof Islamic Republic.”

The SSF is practicing maneuvers in various streets in Tehran. They are also bringing in additional forces from outside Tehran. Surveillance cameras have been installed in the main streets of Tehran. There is a rumor that streets other than for government sponsored demonstrations will be closed. Reporters will be transported to these events by government vehicles.

Posters of Khomeini, Ahmadinejad and Khamenei are being removed from the public streets to prevent their being burned.
