With more than 20 factories, Mahshahr County is recognized as the heart of Iran’s petrochemical industry, where most of the facilities belong to the Revolutionary Guards Corps.  The capital city, Bandar-e Mahshahr, has six operating units, where oil is pumped from several points to large tanks located in the port and then transported to ships.  Bandar-e Khomeini is the largest commercial port in Iran, with 36 docks and several petrochemical plants.  Many towns are also connected to Mahshahr, including Tchamran, Taleghani, Rajaie, Madani, and Gamma Village.

On Friday, November 15, the protests were nucleated from Tchamran, Taleghani, and Sarbandar to Mahshahr, resulting in the closure of the port entrance and exit roads.  On the first day, protesters created a blockage on the roads that led to the special area of the petrochemical complexes, as well as the road that leads to Bandar-e Khomeini.  They burned tires, placed huge rocks on the way, and proceeded to stop some trucks passing by.

Instantly, at the request of the Khuzestan governor, the Khuzestan Corps sent a special brigade to Mahshahr, which entered with two tanks, six personnel carriers, and a large number of heavy and semi-heavy weapons.  They even took a military helicopter.

A special report from Reuters divulged that the Revolutionary Guards were trying to contain the protesters in Mahshahr from blinded vehicles and tanks, while the state television station said security forces opened fire over “rioters” hiding within the marshes.  Meanwhile, human rights groups revealed that Mahshahr could be one of the counties with the highest death rates of protesters in Iran.

In the town of Tchamran, people were shot with DShK machine guns and from helicopters.  They had no mercy on anything and even shot at ordinary people who were not participating in the protest.  Already in the first hour, the Corps killed about 17 people point blank, including two four- and eight-year-old kids and a woman aged 70. read more

  1. The US media isn’t reporting it just like they won’t report when it happens here. That’s why, when it happens here, we all need to remember who was in on it and do what needs to be done.
