So initially it was all about Iran's economy.

The regime had raised – increased gas prices.

Inflation was been –

like 40% for a long time.

The Iran's currency is collapsed.

Tehran could literally run out of water soon.

I mean, that's sort of a very scary scenario for them.

But now you got protesters calling for the end of the regime period.

And there's reports been that about 35 people have been killed.

About 1200 have been arrested.

Iranians are now protesting or they've, there's been reports or confirmed reports of a protest in about 200 locations.

in 26 of Iran's 31 provinces, according to this US-based human rights activist news agency.

So these are not just like urban liberals.

It's like everywhere now.

This is the biggest protest movement in Iran since 2022, which we covered at the time.

It was a young woman named Masa Amini was murdered by Iran's so-called morality police.

Back then, the security forces cracked down hard.

They killed about 500 people.

Now the regime seems a bit paralyzed as to what

they should do or how to respond.
