NCRI - Hesam al-Din Ashna, Rouhani’s advisor and former security official of the Iranian regime, warned the regime leaders that we would be in a disaster if we did not take the recent protests seriously.
According to the state-run ISNA news agency on 7 February 2018, he described the late December and early January 2018 protests in Iran as a serious warning to decision-makers and at a meeting on “surveying recent polls on protests of January 2018” held at the Center for Strategic Studies, said: “It is no longer easy to decide in closed rooms and not to consider the public opinion. Those who ignore public opinion have to wait to receive a stronger slap from the public opinion.”
“People do not seem to have a voice,” he continued. “But when their voices reach politicians, the time for reform is usually too late. Today, the accumulation of economic dissatisfaction has reached a worrying pace, but until the lower layers (lower social classes) come to the protests, it has to be thought that the protests can still be managed. In this regard, the remedy for protests that are aimed at overthrowing the system is to reform the governance system and make it efficient.”
