Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : "Sanandaj, Zahedan, I sacrifice my life for Iran", were some of the slogans that were sung yesterday in Tehran and other cities in the country.
46% : Yesterday it was impossible to contact this man as a result of internet restrictions, which in that area of Iran are even greater than those in the rest of the country for almost a month, when the protests began.
45% : Since the tragic death of Mahsa or Jina by her Kurdish name, the cities of this region have been the protagonists of some of the main protests in Iran and, in response, it has also been one of the scenes of the greatest repression.
44% : The Kurdish area of Iran is one of the most militarized in the country and also one of the least developed in the country.
39% : Already weeks ago Iran launched dozens of missiles and drones towards the neighboring country that would have left at least 8 people dead.
35% : This happened when in many other cities in Iran protest mobilizations were once again arising, not only due to the death of the young Kurdish Mahsa Amini on September 16, but also in solidarity with the inhabitants of this area with a Kurdish majority, a population that represents the 10 percent Iran.
33% : From time to time the military forces launch campaigns against opposition groups and the Nizam, or Iranian system, does not hide the fear that some groups or countries that are enemies of Iran will use this social discontent to create "chaos in the country".
