Iran protests

In a statement posted Monday on social media platform X, the exiled opposition leader called on Iranians abroad and supporters worldwide to gather in major cities.

Firefighting teams arrived at the scene in Tehran's Jannat Abad neighborhood, attempting to extinguish the fire. It remains unclear if the fire was directly related to anti-regime protest activity.

"People are extremely angry," a former official said, adding a US attack could lead Iranians to rise up again. "The wall of fear has collapsed. There is no fear left."

If there was a textbook on how repressive regimes cement their power, this would be the chapter on how the world handed them exactly what they needed.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iranian protesters carried out acts similar to Islamic State and blamed the US for creating the group.

Abbas Araghchi told CNN that miscalculations could trigger war with the US, while insisting Iran remains open to a deal on nuclear weapons.

If collapse occurs, the most beautiful political scene of the 21st century will emerge, and a sinister phenomenon will be buried forever in the graveyard of history.

Some of the Ayatollah's most important insiders belong to the Larijani family, who have a rare dual legitimacy due to their background in the clergy and advanced university degrees.

Even the regime’s own reluctant admission acknowledges roughly 36,500 killed. Iranian witnesses, medical data, and field reports point to a far higher number.
