Arab demonstrators succeeded in exporting the
revolution to Iran, which has always been the source of violence and chaos in
the Arab countries, but this time the contrary broke out in Iraq and then
spread to Lebanon and in both cases targeted symbols and militias affiliated to
Tehran.
The Iranian demonstrations bore the hallmarks
of their Arab counterparts, which flared up in Lebanon and Iraq, starting from
the target point.
In the Arab countries, the protesters chanted
against the Iranian regime's policy and refused to rule it in their country and
demanded the departure of the regime, which is what happened in Iran. The
people demanded the fall of the regime and declared their rejection of its
policies.
The similarity extended to the protest
mechanisms. Citizens resorted to blocking roads peacefully and raised banners
showing their demands.
Similarly, governments 'mechanisms for
cracking down on demonstrators are similar, as the mullahs' hands control their
positions of power.
Violence has been used against demonstrators,
the Internet, broadcast messages of treason, and protesters have been
stigmatized as outsourced in each of the three countries.
According to the state-run IRNA news agency,
Hossam Eddin Ashna, an adviser to the Iranian president, said on Saturday,
November 16, 2019: “Iran is neither Iraq nor Lebanon; the US embassy in the
country has been closed for several years. We Iranians will not allow the media
to decide our fate.”
Although the government announced that the
proceeds of increasing the price of gasoline will not enter the budget, but
will be used to support the poor, but protesters have stepped up their
demonstrations, accusing the regime of causing the widening gap between the
rich and poor and its leaders plundering the country's wealth and dispel in
fueling wars, supporting terrorist arms and buying the loyalty of outsiders.
Maryam Rajavi, head of the opposition
Mujahedeen Khalq Organization, called on the masses of citizens to join the
demonstrations; indicating that this is the only way to escape from poverty and
disasters brought by the regime.
"The mullahs' regime, which has tripled
fuel prices, has made the hard-working poorer and that all the economic joints
of the country are in the hands of Khamenei, Rouhani and the embezzlers of
billions of their entourage."
For his part, the researcher in the Iranian
affairs Mohammad Abadi said that in a short period demonstrations broke out
against corruption and lack of economic reform in Iraq, Lebanon and Iran.
He added in statements to the Reference, that
the Iranian regime failed to win the people in countries where he had great
influence, reflecting the failure of his experience in governance and the
failure of his project, which is losing momentum in countries that had until recently
boasted of its influence.
He explained that the recent protests revealed
how weak the impact of the Iranian regime's propaganda on its citizens and
followers.
