Iran is experiencing the most intense protests in its recent history. For more than a month, hundreds of thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets to demand the end of the Ayatollahs’ regime. Even police brutality is failing to quell these demonstrations.
The spark that set off all this popular discontent was the murder of a young Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, at the hands of the “Iranian moral police”. But Iranian society has been suffering for years under the oppression of the regime and an increasingly unjust economic model. A political and religious elite controls more than 80% of the national economy. While this is happening, life is becoming increasingly difficult for ordinary Iranians.
To what extent could these protests bring about regime change in Iran? Are we facing a Persian spring? How are Iranians surviving the sanctions? In this video we tell you.
