The nationwide uprising against the religious dictatorship in Iran has reached its fifteenth day on Sunday, January 11, 2026. What began as an outcry against economic devastation has solidified into a relentless political movement calling for the downfall of the regime. Following a volatile fourteenth day marked by fierce clashes in different cities, the people have maintained their momentum.
On Sunday, the spirit of resistance continued with renewed strikes in the provinces and nightly rallies in the capital. While the regime continues its suffocating internet blackout and brutal crackdown, the release of the names of new martyrs by the Iranian opposition highlights the heavy price the Iranian people are paying for their freedom.

Strikes in Shiraz and Shahr-e Kord; PMOI reveals 10 more martyrs
As the sun set on the fifteenth day of the uprising, the commercial heart of several Iranian cities remained silent, a powerful sign of civil disobedience against the mullahs’ regime. Reports from the PMOI network inside Iran indicate that despite the regime’s attempts to force businesses open, the strikes are holding.
Strikes in Shiraz and Shahr-e Kord
In Shiraz, southern Iran, shop owners refused to open their doors, resuming their strikes on the 15th day of the uprising. The shutdown of the bazaar signifies the continued support of the middle class for the protests, despite the heavy economic toll and repressive measures by security forces.
Similarly, in Shahr-e Kord, the capital of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, a full strike by merchants and shopkeepers paralyzed the city’s bazaar. The shutdown was explicitly declared as an expression of solidarity with the ongoing nationwide protests.
Tehran: Punak District Rallies
In the capital, the restless energy of the uprising continues. Reports confirm that people have gathered in the Punak district to mark the 15th consecutive night of anti-regime protest rallies.
PMOI Releases Names of 10 Martyrs; 16-Year-Old Shot
The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) announced the names of 10 more martyrs of the nationwide uprising on Sunday, January 11, after verifying their identities. Shockingly, most of the martyrs identified so far were shot in the head by the regime’s suppressive forces, indicating a shoot-to-kill policy.
Among the victims is Alireza Seidi, a 16-year-old teenager from Abdanan who was killed in Tehran on January 9. Five of the newly identified martyrs are from Kermanshah, killed on January 8, while others were killed in Tehran.
Maryam Rajavi: “They cannot escape public accountability”
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the NCRI, issued a stern warning to the regime’s leadership. Following comments by Ali Larijani calling for harsh measures against demonstrators, and the judiciary branding protesters as mohareb (enemies of God), Mrs. Rajavi stated that the leadership should be under “no illusion.”
“They cannot escape public accountability,” Mrs. Rajavi said. “A future democratic Iran will bring to justice those responsible for grave crimes, individuals whose actions have resulted in the bloodshed of countless Iranians.”
In a separate message addressed to the international community, Mrs. Rajavi urged European governments to take decisive action:
Designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity.
Shut down the regime’s embassies and centers.
Expel the regime’s agents.
Digital Blockade Enters Fourth Day
NetBlocks has updated its assessment of the internet landscape in Iran, confirming that the shutdown is entering its fourth day. Connectivity to the outside world remains at a staggering low of 1% of ordinary levels. This deliberate blackout aims to cut off communication between protesters and hide the regime’s crimes from the world.
