Dozens of Guards and other agents of suppression were killed in Kermanshah, Ilam and Khuzistan provinces. In one of the clashes in Dasht-e Khuzistan, the regime's forces had to use helicopters and armored units for five days to follow and suppress a group of Mojahedin, during which period, even the regime's suppressive forces could not make their usual traverses as the area was blocked and all transportations disrupted.
A number of Mojahedin and forces of popular Resistance were also slain in these clashes and the wave of extensive arrests continues in southern Iran. News of the resistance and heroic martyrdom of the Mojahedin has broken in western Iran and is passed alo ng by the word of mouth.
The regime's use of helicopters and armored units indicates on the one hand the dimensions of the activities of the resistance forces and on the other the fear of the mullahs' religious, terrorist dictatorship from the new phase of the Resistance which be gan with the journey of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance's President-elect, to the Iranian frontiers. It is not without reason that the mullahs' Intelligence Ministry keeps launching propaganda blitzes against the Resistance and is desperately s eeking assistance from the "Hezbollah" to cooperate against the Mojahedin.
