On the first day of the new academic year, students from several educational institutions clashed with pro-government groups on university campuses.
Students from Amir Kabir and Sharif University of Technology in Tehran actively participated in the protests that started on February 21. They gathered many students chanting slogans against the authorities and the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The publication notes that these events are occurring against the backdrop of strained relations between Iran and the United States.
Protests in Iran began in late December 2025 due to the devaluation of the national currency, but soon they evolved into broader actions against the ruling regime. Amid these events, internet disruptions were recorded, as well as casualties among both security forces and protesters. According to some reports, the death toll has reached around two thousand people.
Iranian authorities have accused the U.S. and Israel of organizing the unrest and stated on January 12 that the situation has been brought under control.
