Protestors clash with Revolutionary Guard in northern Iran, torch IRGC base: reports

Protestors clashed with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in northern Iran Friday night, during which one of its military bases was allegedly torched, according to information obtained by Fox News Digital.

Men and women marched through the streets of Oshnavieh in western Iran late Friday into the early hours of Saturday, cheering as they allegedly took control over parts of the city.

Videos posted to social media showed thousands of demonstrators taking to the streets in violent protest as buildings were set ablaze, including an IRGC base, according to opposition leaders. 

The Iranian government has yet to comment on the partial takeover in northern Iran, and it remains unclear what happened to the IRGC forces at the base in Oshnavieh.

DEADLY PROTESTS IN IRAN CONTINUE FOR A 9TH DAY: ‘DEATH TO THE DICTATOR’

The destruction comes as nationwide protests continue for a ninth day in nearly 140 cities, in every one of Iran’s 31 provinces following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in police custody. 

She was reportedly arrested, beaten and possibly tortured for violating Iran’s strict dress code laws and wearing her hijab too loosely.

Iranian forces have claimed she was not mistreated and died of a heart attack. 

“The protests have turned into a nationwide uprising,” Ali Safavi, a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran, told Fox News Digital. “It is the eruption of the Iranian people’s pent-up anger in response to 43 years of suppression, corruption, and plunder.”
