Protests have erupted throughout Iran, ignited by economic turmoil, soaring inflation, and rising food prices, evolving into a powerful call for an end to the regime led by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Iranian government has responded with brutal crackdowns, imposing an internet blackout and resulting in reports of at least 72 deaths and over 2,300 arrests, with some fears that the toll could be far higher.
Khamenei has vowed to maintain his grip on power, branding protesters as "vandals" and threatening severe reprisals, including death sentences for those involved in the demonstrations.
U.S. President Donald Trump has openly expressed support for the Iranian people, warning the regime against escalating violence and hinting at potential military intervention if necessary.
Key opposition figures, like Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's last Shah, have rallied for international backing, asserting that the moment for regime change may be near.
The protests resonate far beyond Iran's borders, inspiring solidarity demonstrations across Europe and drawing global attention to the ongoing human rights crisis within the country.
