This will only be the last day of the protests in Iran if the Islamic regime is ready to use unprecedented and savage force against its own people. It is, as terror is the only tool in its box (cf. Qur’an 8:60), but so far the Iranian people have been unwilling to be terrorized.
Note how Reuters doesn’t dare print the actual name of the group they call the “Revolutionary Guards,” which is the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
“IRGC commander warns protestors: Today will be the ‘last day’ of rioting,” Reuters, October 29, 2022:
The head of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards warned protesters that Saturday would be their last day of taking to the streets, in a sign that security forces may intensify their crackdown on unrest sweeping the country.
Iran has been gripped by protests since the death of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini in the custody of the morality police last month, posing one of the boldest challenges to the clerical leadership since the 1979 revolution.
“Do not come to the streets! Today is the last day of the riots,” Guards commander Hossein Salami said in some of the toughest language used in the crisis, which Iran’s clerical leadership blames on its foreign enemies including Israel and the United States.
“This sinister plan is a plan hatched … in the White House and the Zionist regime,” Salami said.
Iranians have defied such warnings throughout the popular revolt in which women have played a prominent role. There were more reports of fresh bloodshed on Saturday.
Human rights group Hengaw reported security forces shooting students at a girls’ school in the city of Saqez. In another post, it said security forces opened fire on students at Kurdistan University of Medical Science, in the Kurdistan provincial capital of Sanandaj….
The widely feared Revolutionary Guards, who report directly to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have not been deployed since demonstrations began on Sept. 16. They are an elite force with a track record of crushing dissent.
Rights groups have said at least 250 protesters have been killed and thousands arrested across Iran in the protests, which have turned into a popular revolt by furious Iranians from all layers of society.
On Friday, video footage on social media showed protesters calling for the death of Khamenei and the Basij militia, which has played a major role in efforts to defuse demonstrations….

The regime did pretty well for more than 23 years with the same ideology masquerading under a “religion”, that is more of an evil religion, if real religious standards have to be applied.
They could con their own, now they can con only the rest of the world,
Walter Sieruk says
The actural reason why that Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps chief viciously declared “Today is the last day of the riots”in because he, with his Islamic hate wants to harm people. Futhermore what he called “riots” in reality are really righteous and justified protests against the cruel oppressive murderous tyranny of that Islamic regime of Iran,
Likewise, the real reason that President/tyrant Rasis is using a strong police and military might to come down hard in a bloody crackdown of brutal cruel vicious force isn’t to keep order in the Islamic regime but to ruthlessly and maliciously murder and terrible harm the brave and courageous Iranian people who are protesting against that horrendous tyranny that they are forced to exist under ,for this tyrannical hostile regime denies them their basic and natural human rights.
Another that horrific and deadly might is used on the protesters is because to claim of “keeping order” is only and excuse in inflict misery bloodshed death and further oppression on the people is explained in the wise saying which is “Evil is always looking for an excuse” Evil is what Rasis and his oppressive regime really and truly are.
Walter Sieruk says
That dictator Rasis deserves no respect at all.
Even before Rasis became the President/tyrant of Iran he had military power and is directly responsibly for have many innocence ruthlessly murdered. At that time and later he, for giving so many deadly orders was known as the “hangman of Tehran.”
After Rasis had become the President/dictator of Iran he had over a hundred people executed in the short span of time,, from January to March,this very year.
Getting back to before Rasis and come to the position of supreme power on Iran he taken a heinous and deadly part in the extremely cruel, brutal and demonic misogyny of this hideous Islamic regime. Not only against women but even young girls. As explained by a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member who defected to the West and now lives in America his book also informs the reader about the malicious and murderous affront girls in Iran’s Evin prison which reads that those in power ,the “paraded teenage girls in front in front of me as they led them to their deaths. These girls were barely out of their childhood, barely old enough to think of themselves, much less form thoughts against the state. They knew nothing about the machinations of politics. They were innocent in every sense of the word and certainty innocent of trumped –up charges that led to their imprisonment. Yet they suffered fates too brutal for even the most vicious criminal. ..Their few remaining moments of life had been filled with the level of abuse that few can imagine…The author further states “They tortured and killed young girls, in God’s name and before their execution they raped them because they believed that if a girl dies virgin, she will go to heaven, and they wanted to deny them this reward.” [1]
This affront against human rights is as malice -filled and viciously wicked as can possibly be.
[1] A TIME TO BETRAY by Reza Kahlili. Pages 2,3. 117.
Walter Sieruk says
Ebrahim Rasis and Ail Khamenei as well as that head of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards are all evil men.
As a former Muslim who revealed an important reality when he wrote “The Islamic republic of Iran exists and operates as what every fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by sharia …” He further exposes that “What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premise; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1]
Those two words that author used “merciless tyranny” to describe that vicious cruel brutal oppressive Islamic and murderous Islamic tyrannical regime is both appropriate and fitting.Just look at those brutal horrendous malicious murders by the state Islamic police and of so many Iranian who are justly and rightly protesting the severe human rights abuses cruelty and oppression of that tyrannical Islamic regime.
Indeed, those villains in power in Iran are all very guilty and have the blood of many innocent people on their wicked hands.

This is just a glimpse into what your country would look like if Muslims take power. Don’t be confused by their culture, language or their silly titles. They are a Dark Ages Islamic Theocracy. What they’re doing to ordinary Iranians is exactly what Muslims would do to us if they ever got the numbers and took over our countries.
We should also not forget that while “Iranians” want to get rid of their regime, half of them want to live in a free country like our own and the other half want to keep living under Islamic rule, but with a less oppressive regime.
Iranians, if they succeed in overthrowing this gov’t, must make sure the next one isn’t another horde of Muslims seeking their turn at the wheel and their cut of the loot, because that’s all they ever do, apart from the usual brutalizing of the population.
If they’re smart, they’ll redefine Iran as a state for non-Muslims only and give the option for Muslims to convert, leave or face the consequences…the same they’d do in if the roles are reversed. They need to organize, take the vehicles and arms of the regime and use it against them.
Now would be a perfect time for Democrats to stand up for the principles they pretend to believe in. But sadly they won’t because they’re cowards, liars and corrupt bastards. They have the military might of the most powerful nation on Earth and couldn’t even stop the Taliban from taking over.
Ofc the military is not to blame, its the stupid monkeys controlling them. And while I have my issues with Republicans, during a time of war, they’d have the brains and fortitude to know how to deal with this fierce enemy.
The trouble with Bush/Cheney, aside from not thinking it through carefully, was their failure to realize that we’re at war with Islam, not just a few bad actors from different countries. The other mistake they made was to allow Leftards to twist the narrative into making them look like the bad guys.
Most Democrats signed off on the invasion of Iraq/Afghanistan too…but they lost their nerve and stupidly allowed a stealth Muslim to get the highest office in the US who then worked to dismantle any effort to understand the Islamic threat and to form a plan to defeat it.
If we had a good leader in power, he or she would help the people of Iran to overthrow their regime and dismantle their nuke program but sadly Biden will just throw them under the bus like he did to Afghan women and they’ll all pay the price for western weakness.
This problem (Islam) is not going away by itself. It will only be ended when good people and nations unite and work together to destroy it once and for all like we did with Nazism.

If the muslims would leave, where would they go to, i.e. who would accept them?
Alkflaeda says
I have a horrible feeling that most of them would head for the UK….mind you, Rishi Sunak has spoken positively about Israel, which may mean that he isn’t enthused about Islam.

How come these old Generals and islamic ”scholars” always look like they have just got out of bed?.
The remaining family of The Shah of Iran, his Son and others, are living in a small town called Woodside in the Portola Valley about 150 Miles south of San Francisco California and it has been said they keep a Plane fueled at SFO Airport ready at a moments notice to fly off to Tehran.
I hope they make it.
