One European diplomat told Newsweek that militant and separatist groups have 'rushed to reorganize themselves and enter Iranian territory' amid the protests.
As a wave of unrest in Iran sparked by the death of a Kurdish woman in police custody continues to rock the nation two and a half months after it began, crackdowns by security forces on demonstrations have at times been met with armed resistance, threatening a new, even more violent phase in which the Islamic Republic would be fighting for its very survival.spoke with officials, experts and activists who acknowledged the potential for this new phase of instability persisting throughout Iran.
"As long as the protesters have no leadership, organization or funding, they fight a brave but, at least for now, futile battle," he added."The regime may not be able to clear the streets, but the protesters too can't overthrow the regime." He also pointed to"a history of separatism" in these two provinces, a reason"why we see the highest number of government and protester fatalities in these two provinces."
Iranians mourn in front of the coffins of people killed in a shooting attack, during their funeral in the city of Izeh in Iran's Khuzestan province, on November 18. Assailants on motorbikes shot dead seven people, including a woman and two children ages 9 and 13, at a central market of Izeh on the evening of November 16, in an attack blamed by the government on"terrorists," but on the government itself by opposition groups.
Last month, the largely Baloch Sunni Islamist Jaish ul-Adl released a series of videos demonstrating their strength and voicing their support for the ongoing protests in Iran. Shortly thereafter, ISIS-K, an acronym for the Islamic State militant group's Khorasan branch based in Afghanistan, claimed a deadly attack at a Shiite Muslim pilgrimage site in the city of Shiraz.
Others monitoring the conflict have also observed a growing trend of violence that is nearing levels unprecedented in Iran's recent history.Newsweek
