Iran is facing unprecedented nationwide protests, spreading to over 100 cities as citizens voice anger over soaring prices, shortages, and political restrictions. What began as economic unrest in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar has grown into a broader anti-government movement, with calls for regime change gaining momentum. Reports indicate over 340 demonstrations so far, with at least 38 people killed and more than 2,200 arrested. Iran’s economy is in crisis, with the rial plunging beyond 1.4 million per U.S. dollar and inflation nearing 40%. UN sanctions, combined with Western pressure, have further strained the economy, while the government’s political and social authority faces mounting challenges. The protests highlight deep political frustration, weakened regional influence, and ongoing concerns over Iran’s nuclear program. Watch to understand why Iran is protesting, the economic crisis, political tension, and the growing calls for change. #IranProtests #IranUnrest #RegimeChange #MiddleEastNews #IranEconomy #GlobalPolitics #BreakingNews #TehranProtests #InflationCrisis #USForeignPolicy
