💨 Abstract

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed not to yield to protests amid rising inflation and economic sanctions. Rights groups report over 10 deaths and numerous arrests. Khamenei distinguished between economic protesters and rioters, stating that the latter should be suppressed. President Donald Trump threatened action, adding pressure on Iran's leaders. The protests, the largest since 2022, follow a series of strategic setbacks for Iran, including Israeli and U.S.
