Iranian youths in Tehran set fire to a building of the paramilitary Bassij Force on Tuesday, located at Baharestan Park in Vahidieh. This region also saw heavy clashes taking place between people on the one hand and the regime’s suppressive forces, State Security Forces, and plainclothes agents on the other. The smoke from the fires set by the youths has engulfed the air.

The municipality has turned off street lights in this area and the regime’s agents have blocked off the Salimi Afzal Street which connects to the park. The agents also surrounded people who had gathered in the part to mark the Fire Festival. However, a number of youths hurled firecrackers and home-made sound grenades into these forces, breaking their formation and siege.

The people expressed their outrage against the absolute clerical dictatorship by chanting “death to Khamenei,” the regime’s Supreme Leader, and other anti-regime slogans, while setting off firecrackers.

In other parts of Tehran, garbage bins were set ablaze in Gisha while in Sattar Khan, there were clashes between people and the regime’s agents.
