The nationwide uprising against the religious dictatorship in Iran has reached its seventeenth day on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. Following a bloody sixteenth day where the death toll surpassed 3,000 and the European Parliament banned regime diplomats, the confrontation between the Iranian people and the regime’s suppressive apparatus has entered a more critical phase.

On Tuesday, the regime displayed clear signs of panic and desperation. Fearing the role of students in the uprising, authorities ordered the evacuation of university dormitories in Tehran. Simultaneously, the regime has begun fortifying city centers in Ahvaz and Dezful with concrete walls, effectively turning them into military zones. While the international community, including Germany, the Netherlands, and the UN, issued strong condemnations, the regime’s Judiciary Chief vowed “no leniency” and ordered the accelerated execution of protesters.
