💨 Abstract

Protests in Iran, sparked by soaring inflation, escalated into violence on Thursday, with several people killed in clashes between police and protesters in various provinces. The unrest, which began with shopkeepers protesting, has spread to students and merchants, leading to a significant security response. The government has offered dialogue while deploying security forces to quell the demonstrations. The protests come amid economic struggles due to Western sanctions and recent regional tensions.
