Iran is experiencing its largest anti-government protests in years, with demonstrations spreading across more than 100 cities and reports suggesting hundreds have been killed in a violent crackdown by authorities. What began as economic protests has evolved into a mass movement calling for the overthrow of Iran's leadership, raising questions about regional stability and potential international intervention.
