Iran must prepare for war waged by its enemies on several fronts, the Iranian Chief of Staff said at a military conference in Tehran on Saturday.

In doing so, he linked the culture war, which is now taking place in the streets of the cities in the women's demonstrations against the Islamic revolution, with the lax security reality inside Iran, and with the tense military reality within its borders. Already yesterday, photos of police officers opening fire on protesters in Tehran were published on social media in Iran.

It is possible that this violent behavior is related to the conclusions expressed by the Iranian Chief of Staff in his remarks, which have already permeated all Iranian security systems, including the civilian police and the secret police. Regarding the women's demonstrations, the Iranian president said this week that the woman who was arrested and died (Mahsa Amini, tipp), underwent two surgeries before her arrest, and it is possible that this was the cause of her death and not the beatings she received from the morality police.

The Iranian president announced that a comprehensive medical investigation is underway. The brave Iranian women in the streets apparently do not buy this explanation and continue their protest. But despite the images coming from around Iran that show the women's protests are not fading away, for the time being there are no signs that these demonstrations are sweeping other publics who are essential to the revolution,

such as students and villagers. However, the fact that three weeks have passed since they began, the Iranian government has still not been able to stop the demonstrations against it, to the extent that even the Iranian Chief of Staff sees it as a threat to Islamic Iran, may indicate that this time the power of the protest has a deep social and cultural meaning.
