Crisis deepens in Iran, anti-government protests spread across the country
The situation in Iran has escalated significantly, as anti-government protests have intensified in Tehran and other major cities in the country. Iranian media reports that several protesters have been killed during clashes with security forces, in what is now considered the most serious wave of social unrest in recent months.
Three protesters were reportedly shot dead in the city of Lordegan, with the government-affiliated Fars News Agency claiming some of them were armed. Another victim was also reported in Isfahan, raising the death toll from the demonstrations in recent days.
Thousands of Iranian anti-regime protesters march in the city of Nahavand chanting "Long Live The Shah" (Javid Shah).

Thursday marked the fifth consecutive day of nationwide protests. Initially, the movement began with traders and small businesses in response to the sharp depreciation of the local currency and worsening economic conditions. However, within days, the protests expanded and took on a broader political and social character, including new demands against the way the government is run.

In a city in southern Iran, citizens reportedly broke through the siege of a government building, while in several other areas protesters set police vehicles on fire. The situation has become even more tense after students joined the protests, giving the movement a broader social dimension.
Faced with the escalation of violence, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has called for dialogue and a reduction in tensions, urging calm and avoiding further clashes. However, analysts estimate that the combination of economic crisis, social discontent and political pressure has put Iran in a particularly dangerous phase, with developments that remain unpredictable in the coming days.
