Beth: The Iranian people hold various festivals throughout the year, many of which are based on ancient Persian traditions. Jharshanbeh Suri (in preparation for the spring - the festival of Nowruz) is one such celebration that is almost 4,000 years old and one of the most popular celebrations among Iranians, with deep historical and traditional roots. By celebrating this festival, Iranians are showing their lack of acceptance of inaction and silence and are paving the way for uprising and change by protesting against the ruling regime despite facing the Coronavirus pandemic in addition to the ongoing repression and violation of their human rights.

The jump over the small fire, symbolizing the purification and burning of harmful energies, at dusk on the eve of the last Wednesday of the Persian calendar year, shows the people's determination to achieve victory and get rid of the mullahs' control.

This year, Iranians will celebrate "Jharshnbeh Suri" on the evening of March 16, 2021. This celebration is already causing concern to the police and judicial authorities.

As the national day "Jharshanbeh Suri" approaches, the police and judicial authorities in the dictatorial regime issue more threats to prevent this celebration from turning into a revolution against the ruling regime.

Iranians this year celebrated the Fire Festival during the Corona outbreak in 522 cities with 232,000 dead, according to the main opposition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

While there is still a shortage of Corona virus prevention equipment such as protective masks and gloves in some medical centers; Nurses and medical staff work in difficult conditions to treat and care for patients. Khamenei rejected the first phase of the vaccine.

While much of the country's wealth and health equipment is in the hands of the IRGC and the office of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, its "executive headquarters," no resources have been allocated to the anti-Coronavirus campaign.

While Iran's mullahs deliberately force political prisoners to be infected with the Coronavirus on Wednesday, they are Syrian.

In this fire festival, Iranians traditionally jump over small burning bushes and logs in public places such as streets, alleys, and squares. They also gather around bonfires, circle their hands, and sing. "And we are determined to continue burning the mullahs' leader Iblis the Great and his zabaniyya," says one of the youths.

The usual goal is to hope for a brighter and happier future during the next year, but there is an added enthusiasm for celebration this year. People are taking advantage of the occasion of "Jharshanbeh Suri" to solve their 42-year-old problem and to strengthen their efforts in fighting the mullahs ruling Iran since 1979, which is the darkest period in Iran. Contemporary.

Iranian officials are now terribly afraid of this festival and are spreading circulars in the media aimed at intimidating the public and preventing Iranians from celebrating "Jharchenbeh Suri".

The military commanders expressed concern that the situation would worsen during the celebration, and had already put all special units, city police and police stations on high alert.

Senior local officials have already warned that stores should not sell pyrotechnic items or pyrotechnics. They have threatened to carry out inspections once the fireworks start, and drastic measures will be taken against the slightest violation.

"If people engage in risky behavior on the night of the last Wednesday of the year, they will face serious and harsh treatment from the police," said Al-Harsi Hossein Rahimi, chief of police in Greater Tehran.

"We are fully prepared to deal with the last Wednesday of the year, and the necessary arrangements have been made for this night," he said.

The authorities, under the pretext of the Coronavirus pandemic, are trying to prevent any gathering and warn: “Given the approaching day of the last Wednesday of the year, if you do not follow health instructions, it is likely that people will be infected with the Coronavirus.”

The Cyber ​​Police, a repressive force unique to Iran, also announced, "Sites that publish instructions on how to make firecrackers and fireworks on the Internet will be prosecuted."

Nevertheless, the youth intend to celebrate this national event by stepping up their activities despite the security measures, by burning pictures and posters of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Qassem Soleimani.

In recent decades, Jharshanbe Suri has become the scene of protests and anger against the regime in cities spread across Iran. Last year, the sound of explosive fireworks at the hands of angry Iranian youth was constantly being heard in many cities, but this year's festival is different from last year, especially after the November and December 2019 uprisings.

As a result, the Iranians, by celebrating "Jharshanbeh Suri" on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, will send a message to the Supreme Leader that "fire is a symbol of our long struggle against dictatorship." Iranians are already posting messages on social media that we are all together and that the Coronavirus and the crackdown will not hold us back.
