It should be noted that protests in Iran began in late December and were triggered by an economic crisis and the fall of the local currency.

U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that serious actions against Iran could be taken if there are reports of protesters being killed.

Currently, the following information is known:


Global media report on blocked streets in Tehran, where protesters are setting vehicles on fire. Slogans can be heard in the crowd: "Long live the Shah!", "Death to the dictator!" and "This is the last battle, Pahlavi will return."

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the former Shah of Iran, was overthrown during the Islamic Revolution of 1979, organized by Ayatollah Khomeini. After the fall of the monarchy, Iran became an Islamic republic. Pahlavi left the country and died in exile in 1980 in Egypt.
