Nasser Asgary: On enemies of the Islamic regime of Iran

As expected, in an orchestrated effort, all of the current and the past authorities of Islamic regime of Iran – the hardliners and the moderates, the conservatives and the reformers – came out condemning the most recent street protests as “work of enemies”. They showed up on TV, pale, sullen and scared, reminding each other the bygone days, and how they were able and by what methods to quell the unrest! They, seemingly, all forgot about reforming their sclerotic regime, so to fit them according to their needs. Their need is, at the very moment, to save this regime, which has been seriously challenged by the vast majority, who have demanded its overthrow.

It is, of course, true that this regime has many enemies. Donald Trump, as usual, Tweeted his unedited mind. Saudi Arabia said something as well to twist its regional rival’s arm. Canada, as its habit, followed US’s steps; and different European states made statements about the street protests, keeping in mind their economic ties and interests with Islamic regime. Neither of them however will go as far as demanding the overthrow of this regime. They all either explicitly or implicitly made this clear.

But the real enemy is at home. They are workers, pensioners, women, unemployed youth; the downtrodden. They have not been eating properly due to the lack of enough food. Not being paid regularly. They are told that they are Khirkhodi (second hand citizens). They are homeless, sleeping in the streets and in the yet unused graves in the cemeteries! Not excited by USA’s exportable Democracy or Human Right. Not lured by Saudi Arabia’s kings and princes. They are the enemy of this regime and the enemy of the whole system.

The relationship between Islamic regime and its enemy at home has entered a new phase. This will not benefit any of the gangs or wings of the Islamic regime!
