Tehran Protest Crackdown

Amid ongoing economic unrest, Iranian authorities have responded to protests in Tehran with arrests and the use of tear gas. Notably, on Jomhuri Street, protesters managed to push back police, forcing a retreat. The demonstrations are fueled by public discontent over the currency’s decline and broader dissatisfaction with the regime. The situation remains tense as protests continue across the capital.
