Another blow to the enemies of the Islamic Republic who sought to undermine Iran’s national security. Calls for a three-day strike urging business owners and shopkeepers to close their stores have faced a significant failure.
On the last day of the so-called nationwide strike, just like the past two day, shops across the capital Tehran were open and the business was as usual.
Presence of people on the streets, shopping for their needs indicates that Iranians did not welcome the recent call for strikes by the enemies of the Islamic Republic and rather complained about their destructive activities.
The Rioters have gone on rampage across Iran, brutally attacking security officers and causing massive damage to public property as Western countries, especially the United States, provided support.
Iranian officials say rioters have damaged cars, houses, public and private properties. Shops and stores were looted and set on fire. According to official statistics, the unrest in Iran has resulted in more than forty million dollars in damages.
Iranian officials say the recent calls for nationwide strikes sought to put the establishment in a new predicament in the scene of the unrest fomented by the rioters. However, the enemies’ plan to revive the riots, which have been declining for some time now, has ended in a failure. Because most of the businesses opened their shops and were engaged in daily activities as before.
