What you need to understand about the demonstrations rocking Iran amid government-imposed internet and phone blackouts
Widespread Unrest and Economic Crisis in Iran
Mass demonstrations have erupted across Iran as the country grapples with a deteriorating economy, prompting authorities to restrict access to the internet and phone services. The government is still dealing with the aftermath of a recent 12-day conflict initiated by Israel in June, during which the United States targeted Iranian nuclear facilities. Since the United Nations reinstated sanctions in September due to concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions, financial strain has intensified, causing the Iranian rial to plummet to a rate exceeding 1.4 million per US dollar. At the same time, Iran's so-called “Axis of Resistance”—an alliance of regional states and groups—faces mounting challenges.
