The economic crisis in Iran has led to mass protests that have been ongoing for several days. The protests have spread not only to Tehran but also to major cities such as Isfahan and Shiraz.
The main factors provoking citizens' discontent include the sharp decline in the value of the Iranian rial, rising prices for food and essential goods, as well as high inflation. Protesters are voicing demands related to social and economic issues, although in some cities political slogans are also being heard.
According to reports from foreign sources, in some regions, the protests have escalated into clashes with law enforcement agencies. There are reports of casualties and injuries, as well as dozens of arrests. In response, the authorities have increased security measures, boosting the number of police and security service personnel, and have imposed restrictions on access to the internet and social media. Iranian officials claim that the situation is under control and blame "external forces" for the unrest.
