Protests against the Iranian regime have erupted, with women defiantly lighting cigarettes using images of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, symbolizing their rebellion and demand for change.
Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's last Shah, has become a prominent voice, urging citizens to escalate protests and seize urban centers, highlighting the regime's fear amidst widespread dissent.
As unrest grows, the Iranian army pledges to protect public property and strategic infrastructure, signaling the government's attempts to maintain control in the face of mounting civil unrest.
The Iranian government is escalating its crackdown, threatening harsh penalties, including the death penalty, for protesters, while also cutting internet access to stifle communication and limit organization among demonstrators.
Khamenei has accused foreign powers, particularly Donald Trump, of inciting the protests, painting dissent as a foreign conspiracy while reports suggest he considers fleeing the country in response to the turmoil.
Public sentiment is rapidly shifting against the regime, with tens of thousands taking to the streets, embodying a powerful call for change amid a growing atmosphere of urgency and resistance.
