Iran Regime Officials' Terrified Warnings About a Repeat of 2009 Uprising
NCRI - On the anniversary of the Iranian regime’s repressive mobilization following Iranian people's 2009 Ashura uprising that shook the entire regime head to toe, leaders and officials of the regime fearfully warn about a repeat of the uprising and the prospect of regime overthrow.
In a statement, mullah Ahmad Janati, head of the regime’s Assembly of Experts, said: “Seditionists in 2009 (uprising) pulled the country into a long chaos and anarchy such that it requires years to compensate for the damage to the system.
He told the state TV: “They were thinking about overthrow of the Islamic Republic which means the issue was not the elections or something like that at all but to overthrow the Islamic Republic and Islamic Revolution and replace it with a secular government. If this sedition (uprising) had succeeded, this system would have been suppressed (defeated) completely and the Islamic regime would have been dismantled.
Meanwhile, Hossein Shariatmadari, Khamenei’s mouthpiece and representative in Keyhan daily, said: “Repeat of a new sedition (uprising) in the framework and formula similar to the sedition 2009 seems unlikely, but occurrence of other seditions is not unexpected and the evidence that new possible sedition is forming can be seen. The main strategic line of the enemy’s roadmap that has repeatedly and explicitly been emphasized by the enemy is to overthrow the regime.”
