Iran’s Leaders Tighten Grip as Protests Escalate Nationwide
A surge of protests across Iran has triggered the harshest security response seen in years, with streets falling silent after days of violence.
The unrest, sparked by economic collapse and rising prices, has spread from Tehran’s bazaars to cities nationwide. At the same time, US pressure is mounting, with President Trump signalling that negotiations may not prevent further action.
Experts warn that while the regime may survive through force, the underlying crises of sanctions, mismanagement and public anger remain unresolved.
