Can't stop, won't stop
Fire, Chaos, Shootings: Iran Protests Enter 11th Day | WATCH
As Iran's anti-government protests mark their 11th day, sparked by economic collapse, skyrocketing inflation, and a currency crisis, the movement shows no signs of fading, with demonstrations reported in over 280 locations across 92 cities and at least 27 provinces.
What began as merchant strikes in Tehran's Grand Bazaar on December 28 has evolved into widespread calls for regime change, with chants like "Long Live the Shah" echoing in cities such as Mashhad.
Human rights groups report at least 36 deaths (including protesters, children, and security personnel) and over 2,000 arrests, while the regime's response grows increasingly aggressive, including hospital raids and live ammunition use.
Key Developments on Day 11
International Reactions and Regime Warnings
U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated threats of intervention if killings escalate, prompting Iranian officials to warn of retaliatory strikes on U.S. bases.
Protesters in some areas renamed streets "Trump Street" in symbolic support. Iran's Army Chief downplayed protests as "normal" but vowed a "decisive response" to external threats, while exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi called for a democratic transition.
Australia issued a "Do Not Travel" advisory, suspending embassy operations due to volatility.
The regime's "meager" economic offers have failed to quell the unrest, with rights groups like Amnesty International and HRANA highlighting the crackdown's severity.
