💨 Abstract

In Iran, a 21-year-old man was killed during protests over high inflation and currency devaluation, marking the most significant unrest since 2020. The demonstrations, which began with shopkeepers, have spread nationwide, with reports of security forces' heavy presence and clashes. The government has offered dialogue with protesters, an unusual response compared to past crackdowns. The unrest comes amid severe economic struggles due to Western sanctions and recent regional tensions.
