Thousands of the regime forces have been mobilized in the Kerman Province and especially in the cities of Bam and Jiroft in order to prepare the "conditions" for the "future" visit of the Islamic republic leaders.
Orders have been issued to arrest or shoot on any protester in the devastated areas under the label of "fighting looters".
The Islamic regime knowing the degree of the popular hatered and the existing explosive situation has preferred to postpone these official visits and its leaders, such as Mohamad Khatami, haven't showed up on the scenes of the unprecedented devastation which stroke the region on Friday and which has tooke the lives of tens of thousands of Iranians.
Reports on sporadic protest actions and the probable massive demonstration of the victims' families under the eyes of many foreign reporters are the main reason for this delay to respond to a duty known by all other countries' leaders who usually rush for showing support to their nationals.
The fear of the authorities has reached a level which many of the voluntary aids and people rushing to the area have started to get blocked and forbidden of access to the area. Trucks and vans along with hundreds of volunteers are awaiting near the entries of the area under the close watch of armed militiamen.
An increasing anger and hate has been reported from most Iranian cities and especially in the Capital where sporadic protests and shouting slogans against the regime have happened during voluntary blood and aid collects.
Many Iranians have shouted slogans or expressed signs for stating their gratitudes to the US and Israeli governments despite getting beaten up by the regime's security apparatus present to monitor these gatherings.
In some of the hospitals of the Kerman and Tehran, scenes of public altercation between members of the Medical Corp. and the regime's security or official agents, such as the governmental TV-Radio sent for propaganda purpose, have resulted in protest of families and friends of the victims sent for cure.
"It's like that these bugs are not even willing to let people to die in peace" a doctor was heard saying in one of the capital's main hospital.
