Protests are spreading rapidly across Iran, now confirmed in at least 17 provinces, marking the biggest challenge to the Islamic Republic since 2022. What began as anger over economic hardship and a collapsing currency has turned deadly, with reports of dozens killed as security forces intensify their crackdown. Demonstrations have reached cities once considered loyal to the regime, with chants openly targeting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. As violence escalates and the death toll rises, experts warn the government’s heavy-handed response could deepen public fury and push the country toward a dangerous new phase of unrest.#IranProtests #IranUnrest #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #Khamenei #HumanRights #WorldNews #Uprising #IranNews
