Iran's Forces Flood Cities at the Heart of the Hijab Rebellion

(The Times-UK) Richard Spencer - Iranian security forces are storming rebellious cities in the restive north, the focal point of the most serious protests against the regime. Videos showed helicopters and military vehicles pouring into the town of Mahabad, where protesters had in effect taken over. Streets were thick with tear gas and shots could be heard, as well as screams. Security forces fired on protesters in other Kurdish towns, including Divandarreh, where three people were killed, and Sanandaj. According to opposition groups and exiles, protesters are fighting back and have killed several security officers. State-sponsored funerals at the weekend for members of the security forces killed by protesters included three colonels. 378 people have died in the unrest, according to Iran Human Rights, including 47 children. In the ethnic Balochi southeast, Sistan-Balochistan province has recorded 123 deaths.
