Iran Government Emphasizes ‘Red Lines’ Amid University Student Protests

Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani emphasized that protesting students must respect the “red lines” of the theocratic establishment, amid ongoing violent clashes at universities. Students have been protesting against the government since the nationwide protests in January, with some tearing up the current flag and hoisting the pre-revolution flag. Many universities remain closed, with classes moved online, while pro-state groups clash with anti-establishment students. The government has opened disciplinary cases against some students, leading to suspensions and arrests. International condemnation continues over Iran’s handling of the protests, as tensions with the US escalate over nuclear issues and military exercises.
