The Iranian regime is so afraid of the repeat of what happened in 2009 sham presidential election that according to Tehran's chief of traffic police, women have been warned that they will have their cars confiscated for three weeks if driven while ’improperly veiled’.
Their vehicles may also been impounded for ’unchaste behaviour’ or ’noise pollution’. Hossein Rahimi said the clampdown was part of a ’moral security plan’ and at ’controlling and monitoring vehicles and the youth’. But all measures point to crush any anti-regime protests during the forthcoming June presidential election. The Iranian regime also has confiscated 16,800 private satellite dishes in Zanjan province alone in the past year, according to the province’s deputy commander of the State Security Forces. Any connection to the outside world is crushed by the Iranian regime especially if people watch or donate to INTV which is the Iranian resistance media outlet.

In another news the Iranian regime’s armed forces are on high alert to crush any public protests during this June’s presidential election, the head of the regime’s armed forces has warned. Armed forces chief Seyed Hassan Firouz-Abadi has told the state-run Mehr news agency that "Our armed forces are completely ready to confront any kind of possible sedition and evil in the forthcoming elections".

Recent days’ explosions near some mosques and gathering centers in Ameriya and Ghazaliya neighbourhoods in Baghdad had been organized by groups affiliated to the Quds Force.
