Iran's rial hits historic low of 144,000 tomans, triggering nationwide strikes in the Grand Bazaar and 10 universities. First fatality confirmed in Kuhdasht as protesters chant 'Don't be afraid.'

Clashes at Tehran’s Grand Bazaar signal Iran’s deadliest protests in three years as anger over inflation and a collapsing rial spreads nationwide.

Demonstrations broke out in Iran on Dec. 28 and have spread nationwide as protesters vent their increasing discontent over the Islamic Republic’s faltering economy and the collapse of its currency.

Nationwide anti-regime protests in Iran enter 11th day, nearly 40 killed, strikes continue, more demonstrations planned Thursday.

With Iran's anti-government unrest evolving rapidly and foreign pressure mounting, the clerical establishment appears unable, for now, to tackle what has become a crisis of legitimacy at the heart of the Islamic Republic.
