The 2025–26 Iranian protests, which began over economic grievances but have since shifted into calls for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic

  1. There hasn’t been any protests in Urmia or Zanjan.
    The Azerbaijani cities haven’t joined the protest so far.

    All of Iran’s problems come from sanctions the USA and Israel have placed on them. Remove those sanctions and overnight Iran becomes a country richer than Saudi Arabia. There is nothing else you need to know if you are an outside observer. The requirement to wear hijab for women has been gone for over three years now.

  3. Hopefully the cia and Israel don’t mess this up. Would love a peaceful transition

    There is high poverty in all demographic areas, once again it’s because of sanctions. It’s a money problem. Bahais are persecuted because they work hand in hand with Israel. Their holiest site is in Israel and they literally make pilgrimage there. Bahais love Israel, they post pictures with IDF soldiers on their vacays to Israel. Deaths of tens of thousands is a lie , if not post a source on that ( you can’t because you made it up).

    This map is outdated btw, Qom (the most conservative city in Iran and where Islamic revolution started) has been protesting since yesterday.

    The calls for overthrowal aren’t a new thing and unless there’s proof of there being an actually loud sentiment for that, I believe it’s reasonable to assume that it’s just another nothing burger

    You mean sanctioning a country for decades worked. More reasons for the world to ditch dollar and dollar backed trade systems.

    The titanic sinks in panic

    But the band played on and on!

    They heard the SOS,

    But no one knew, where she had gone!

  9. Protest starts due economic shortcomings, with minority of protesters upset with ”not so secular” gov’t. Citizens’ priority is the economy, to be fed and be safe, not religious basis. But hey, zi0s love this opportunity to stirr it into pure ”islamic governments bad mmkay” so they can install their new aspiring ally Reza.

    The western secular {liberal} public (which has greatest media influence), wouldn’t give a damn about economy in Iran, because the concern of economic shortcomings is not limited to middle east, every country has its own eco issue to deal with. So yeah, get zi0s and its allies to make it look like the protest is predominantly about Islamic gov’t, that surely will grab the western libs attention and create the necessary public outrage, to proceed with their installation of favourable puppet. 🤷‍♂️
