A man was allegedly shot in the head by Islamic Regime security forces and has died after he celebrated Iran’s defeat to the USA in last night’s World Cup crunch match. Government agents reportedly shot Mehran Samak, 27, in the city of Anzali, eastern Iran after he honked his car horn to celebrate the country’s World Cup loss. He was sitting in his vehicle alongside his fiancée when a member of Iran’s security forces approached and shot him in the head, according to a report from Iran International. 

Mr Samak was rushed to a nearby hospital but died within an hour.

The young man had joined several other Iranians throughout the country to celebrate the national team’s crushing defeat in the World Cup amid surging fury against the Islamic Regime.

Many Iranians viewed the loss against the USA as a win against the country’s own Government, which has cracked down on nationwide protests over recent months.

Last night in the Kurdish region, football fans celebrated by setting off firework and also honked car horns in the early hours of Wednesday to celebrate the Iranian team’s defeat.

Many shouted “Death to the dictator”, a popular protest slogan referring to the Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Recently in the western Kurdish region, there have been furious protests as well a deadly crackdown by security forces that has resulted in hundreds of people been killed.

The protests have been ongoing since the start of September after young Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, died in the custody of Iran’s morality police in Tehran.

The 22-year-old died a few days after her arrest in the Iranian capital for allegedly breaching the Islamic dress code for women.

But furious protests quickly erupted, posing one of the most serious challenges to Iran’s theocracy since its establishment in the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
