Mass Protests and Live Ammunition Used in Abadan and Khor Musa

كانون2/يناير 10, 2026 397


Following the outbreak of protests that swept across all Iranian cities in general, and the occupied Ahwaz region in particular, large-scale demonstrations and popular gatherings have emerged prominently in the cities of Abadan, Khor Musa, and Ahwaz (the capital).
Despite the massive crowds of demonstrators, the security forces of the Iranian occupation chose a different approach. Followers of Khamenei and his officials decided to use excessive violence against peaceful protesters.
In the city of Abadan, reports indicated that many demonstrators were injured by live fire from security forces, who opened fire to disperse the crowds. Despite the brutality of the Iranian occupation and its harsh treatment of its opponents, the protests continue unabated.
In the city of Khor Musa, numerous video clips have circulated widely on social media showing security forces firing live ammunition directly and from close range at the faces of unarmed, peaceful protesters.

For its part, the International Human Rights Organization condemned the violations committed by the security forces of the Iranian occupation in the occupied Ahwaz cities, calling for comprehensive investigations and for the soldiers and military commanders involved to be brought to trial on charges of premeditated murder.
In a related development, the Ahwazi Network for Human Rights urged protesters to exercise caution and avoid approaching police stations and checkpoints, fearing that security forces may open fire on them.

The network affirmed the legal and legitimate right of these protesters and called on the international community to intervene and put an end to the brutal crimes against our Arab Ahwazi people, who have taken to the streets to improve living conditions and stabilize the economic situation.
At the same time, Iranian officials addressed the Iranian public, announcing that financial assistance amounting to only USD 7 would be distributed for a period of four months—an announcement many viewed as an insult to the protesters, who took to the streets to demand improved living conditions, not a handful of money.
Experts believe that the Iranian occupation will soon come to an end with the fall of its head, Khamenei, along with his aides and the clerics of Qom and Tehran. They argue that the regime is faltering, and these days may mark its final chapter.
