Anti-Islamic Iranians continued widespread protests for the fourth consecutive day, utilizing memorials for victims as opportunities to demonstrate. Concurrently, multiple IRGC bases and sensitive underground facilities, including one in Pachin, reportedly experienced explosions and attacks. The host speculates these are acts of sabotage, not gas leaks, and that the regime is mobilizing troops and emergency workers, signaling a 'pre-war theater phase'.
