The flaming of Iranian zeal turned the Iranian uprising of January 18 into a field of national resistance.

Iranian zeal flared up again on the twelfth day of protests, and the January 18 uprising, with the presence of a huge flood of people in dozens of cities, turned Iran into a field of national resistance.

On this day, Thursday, January 8, corresponding to January 18, 1404, Iran once again witnessed a nationwide and powerful uprising; an uprising that encompassed from metropolitan cities to small towns and, with street protests, widespread strikes, and explicit anti-government slogans, displayed a clear picture of the zeal, resistance, and national solidarity of the Iranian people.

According to field reports and social media, with the announcement of Prince Reza Pahlavi's call, to which all of Iran said yes, protests continued today in dozens of cities and more than 30 provinces. The public's presence was not limited to demonstrations, but also marketers' strikes, business closures, and union protests gave the body of this uprising double strength.

Among the cities that were the scene of protests or strikes today, the following can be mentioned:

• Tehran: Huge, scattered gatherings in different areas, with slogans directly against the regime's leadership
• Tabriz: Market strike, widespread closure of shops, and people on the streets
• Isfahan: Bazaars' support and scattered street protests
• Shiraz: There was a very large presence of protesters in the central parts of the city, and it was announced that the city of Shiraz had also fallen into the hands of the people, and security forces joined the people.
• Rasht: Gatherings in main squares and busy streets
• Bojnourd: Street protests with large attendance
• Sanandaj and Kermanshah: Simultaneous strike and protest and armed clash between the forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps in the "Dare Dejir" neighborhood of Kermanshah.
• Babylon: Night gatherings with political slogans
• Qom, Qazvin, Neyshabur, Sabzevar, Shahrekord, Bandar Abbas: Market closures and union protests

Reports indicate that the scope of the protests is not limited to provincial centers, and smaller cities and regions have also joined the wave of uprisings.

Today's slogans indicated the protesters' transition from purely economic demands to explicit political demands. Among the most frequent and prominent slogans were: "Death to the dictator", "Death to Khamenei", "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are all together", "This is the last message, the goal of the entire system", "This is not the last battle, Pahlavi will return", "Javed Shah, Javed Shah", "Long live the Pahlavi dynasty", and in some cities, symbolic slogans were chanted in support of a fundamental change in the structure of the government. These slogans reflect the accumulated anger, the demand for change, and the defeat of the atmosphere of fear among the protesters.

As the protests spread, there have been reports of increased security presence, arrests of protesters, and widespread internet disruption. However, evidence on the ground suggests that the severity of the crackdown has failed to prevent the protests from continuing and has even led to increased public anger in some areas.

The uprising of January 18, 1404 (January 18, 1404) is not just a temporary protest, but a clear demonstration of the zeal, solidarity, and national will of the Iranian people. The simultaneous presence of people in the streets, markets, and small and large cities shows that the protests have entered a stage that has crossed geographical, class, and generational boundaries and has turned Iran into a field of civil resistance for a nation.
