  By: Reza Hoseani Abstract Although the US election is ostensibly a domestic event in the United States, it directly affects the regional balance, the internal equations of the clerical regime, and ultimately the fate of the Iranian people’s uprising. This article examines these effects and shows that, contrary to the regime’s initial propaganda, the election result has created no opening for the immature Supreme Leader and his imposed successor, Mojtaba Khamenei. On the contrary, with the declining likelihood of a full-scale war and the reactivation of frozen social demands, it has created the ground for a major, organized, and inevitable uprising. The article concludes that Mojtaba Khamenei, unlike his father, has none of the historical, political, and military conditions needed to consolidate himself as Supreme Leader, and is trapped in a deadlock of “neither war nor peace.” In such a situation, an uprising, whether by force or by peace, is lying in wait for the regime and is i...

Iran: Strike and Protest of Workers of Ahvaz Steel and Haft Tappeh Sugar Cane Mill and Support of Other Workers

-


Iran Uprising - No. 236
The brave workers of Ahvaz Steel started their thirtieth-two day of strike on Tuesday December 11 with a rally in front of the governorate of the regime in Ahvaz. Many workers had white shrouds on which slogans such as "We stand, we die, we do not accept humiliation" was written. Workers were chanting: Lest we accept humiliation; neither threat, nor prison, they are no longer useful; student, worker, unity; imprisoned worker must be freed; imprisoned student must be freed; neither ruler nor the state, can overcome the worker; neither ruler, nor the state, think about the nation; inflation, high prices, respond Rouhani; our country is a thief house; it's unique in the world; liar Rouhani, where is your claimed key to solve the problems? Our disgrace, our disgrace, our radio and TV.
At the same time, 1,500 seasonal and day-work workers of the Haft Tappeh Sugar Cane Complex gathered in front of the building's administrative office to protest the uncertainty about their job status and false promises of the regime.
Meanwhile, in Tehran, a group of workers gathered in front of the parliament in support of the hard working workers of the Ahvaz Steel National Industrial Group and the Haft Tappeh Sugar Cane workers. They called for the release of detained workers, the striking workers’ job security, and the cutting off the hands of the government's mafia in these industries.
Borujerd municipality workers also protested in front of the regime's governorate in the city against their dire livelihood conditions, and corruption and embezzlement of Alaeddin Boroujerdi, former chairman of the National Security Committee of the regime’s parliament, and his affiliates. Khorasgan disadvantaged farmers in eastern Isfahan are also continuing their sit-ins and are demanding their water right for fall cultivation and addressing their problems.

A recurring call throughout the conference was for Western governments to adopt a firmer stance, including the ...

When War Becomes an Excuse: How Economic Pressure Is Being Shifted Onto Ordinary People

  By Reza Hoseani Iran’s economic crisis is no longer just a headline — it has become part of everyday life. Skyrocketing prices, the continuous collapse of the national currency, and shrinking household purchasing power are now affecting nearly every segment of society. But an important question remains: Are these hardships truly the direct result of war and external pressure, or are they rooted in domestic economic policies and political decisions? While state media repeatedly blame regional tensions and foreign conflicts for inflation and market instability, many economists argue that the current crisis is driven far more by internal policymaking than by war itself.   War as a Cover for Internal Economic Failure For years, whenever Iran’s economy entered a deeper phase of crisis, official narratives pointed to external enemies and international tensions. However, economic experts say the immediate impact of war rarely causes inflation on this scale in such a sho...
