As time goes on and the news cycle shifts, protesters in Iran remain determined, and are paying a high price as they risk their lives in their fight for freedom. Iranian regime forces opened fire on protestors at the Tehran metro station while it was crowded with people. The incident was captured in this video:
No one can say with certainty what has happened to the 15,000 protestors who have been arrested, or what the actual death toll is. Meanwhile, reports are circulating that “terrorist elements” also opened fire on protestors, killing five. The Iranian regime is a “terrorist element” in itself. Although the Islamic State is the implied suspected “terrorist element,” the perpetrators may well have been Iranian regime actors.
“Iranian security forces open fire at Tehran metro station amid ongoing protests,” WION, November 17, 2022:
The situation in Iran escalated once again on Wednesday as security forces opened fire on protesters at a metro station in Tehran. Videos and pictures shared on the social media showed that the forces attacked the protesters who had gathered to protest against the custodial death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini and they even beat up women who were not wearing the mandatory hair coverings in public.
The videos showed that the metro station was crowded with people – some of whom were protesting Amini’s death – and the forces ended up hitting them with batons and sticks.
The protests have intensified in the past few days as it is the third anniversary of “Bloody November” when several protesters were killed in Iran for protesting against fuel prices.
Amini was detained by the morality police for not wearing the hijab in public and later, she was found dead with signs of trauma to her head and body. The death sparked massive protests all around the country and women came out in public to burn hijabs and cut their hair as a mark of rebellion.
Following the protests, Oslo-based NGO Iran Human Rights said that 326 people have died till now and more than 15,000 protesters have been arrested for showing their dissent in public….

The terribly oppressed people of the Islamic Republic of Iran need to read, understand and know the wisdom of the philosopher, John Locke. For he with reason and logic made it known about the importance of basic human rights and if a tyrannical government abuses and even denies human rights, the people existing under that tyranny have every, just, right to overthrow that dictatorship.
Of course, in power in that brutal and cruel will strive to keep the people ignorant about the wisdom of Locke and of other intelligent writers from the age of the enlightenment.
This is because cruel and oppressive tyrant, Rasis, of Iran wants to stay in his brutal tyrannical power.
That dictator, Raisi along with others in power of terrible in that brutal cruel vicious tyranny terrible oppress and terrorize the people who are trapped and forced to exist in that tyrannical regime by its Revolutionary Guards, who are in reality, bands of government thugs, in uniform, and tools of that hideous regime of Iran.
Therefore, the Iranian people trapped and forced to exist in that awful tyrannical regime do have every right to overthrow that despicable and oppressive tyranny.

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 Iranians who are justly and rightly protesting the severe human rights abuses cruelty and oppression of that tyrannical Islamic regime.
Indeed, the tyrants of Khamenei and Raisi are very guilty and have the blood of many innocent people on their wicked hands.

Good for those brave and courageous people of Iran who are standing up against that hostile brutal cruel and murderous Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran.
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.

The vicious murder of teenage girls by those thugs in uniform who are the Islamic “police’ of that abomination of a tyranny of Iran is a most unconscionable evil of that misogyny filled Islamic tyranny of Iran.
That cruel vicious murder of those young girls by the hooligan “police” of that Islamic tyranny is the result of that anti-female religion of Islam.
As revealed by a scholar of Islam who revealed in her book “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islam ideology.” Furthermore, the author also exposed that `” Women is Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]

That brutal cruel oppressive misogynistic as well as murderous tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran is based on Sharia denies basic human rights is viciously harsh on all people, especially girls and women. For Sharia supports forcing women to wear the hijab.
So, it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this what an outright liar Rasis is, for he said that he is “a defender of human rights.” For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” . page 150.
Therefore Sharia has no value or worth.

The Iranian people who trapped in and forced to exist in the Islamic dictatorship might not know about the intellect philosopher John Locke, but his ideas do apply to them. For Mr. Locke taught that any good government has the duty to ensure the security and safety of its citizens. Yet when a tyranny is the people in the tyrannical government do have every natural and ethical right to overthrow that terrible and oppressive tyranny/ government.

I wish we had someone in the WH like Trump or even better who would help those protestors overthrow their Islamic government and set up a pro-democracy and pro-Western government.

I hope they make it.
