The Bakhtiari tribe challenged the Islamic Republic government to war.

The Bakhtiari tribe called on the Islamic Republic government to go to war during the anniversary ceremony of Jamshid Mokhtari.

Jamshid Mokhtari, from the city of Jhunqan, was shot and killed by regime forces during the protests of May 1402 at the age of 39. Jamshid had two daughters, Mobina and Gelareh. He worked at the "Josh Talaei" company and was present in the May 1402 protests against high prices.

Since May 12, when the office of the Friday Imam of Jhunqan and the Basij office were burned to ashes in flames, a security situation has arisen in this city, and government forces have attacked the city out of fear and arrested more than 50 people.

The protests continued until the end of May. On May 17, Jamshid Mokhtari and his friend were surrounded on the street by plainclothes IRGC officers in eight vehicles. Jamshid's friend was immediately arrested by the officers, but Jamshid, due to his athletic build, got into a fight with the officers and fled, when one of the officers shot him in the back. The bullet passed under Jamshid's shoulder and pierced his lung.

The people present at the scene transferred him to the "Sina" hospital, but due to a punctured lung, he did not live long and lost his life. Jamshid's brother, fearing that his brother's body would be stolen, took him home and covered his body with ice with the help of neighbors. However, the special unit agents still attacked Junqan to take Jamshid's body, but the people stood at the same spot where Jamshid had been shot and did not allow the forces to enter the city. On 18 Ordibehesht 1401, Jamshid Mokhtari's body was buried in the midst of a large crowd, with the sounds of Bakhtiari drums and musical instruments.

Yesterday, Thursday, May 18, the first anniversary of Jamshid Mokhtari (martyr of the path to freedom) was celebrated with a flood of people from the Bakhtiari tribe, dancing and rejoicing. At his ceremony, the Bakhtiari people officially called on the Islamic Republic government to go to war with the slogans "O Bakhtiari army, be ready, be ready," "Turks and Lors and Persians and Arabs, be ready, be ready," and "Be ready, be ready, be ready for a relentless battle."

The day Jamshid Bakhtiari lost his life in the land of Junqan, the Islamic Republic government did not know that a few months later an even more violent storm would arise, one that would shake not only the land of Iran, but the entire world. An uprising that, after 5 months, made the entire world strive for Iran's freedom.
