Iran Protests Turn Deadly as Violence and Anger Spread

Financial Strain Sparks Fifth Consecutive Day of Demonstrations

Rising economic pressure has ignited a wave of unrest across Iran, now entering its fifth day of nationwide protests. Demonstrators, driven by soaring living costs and dwindling purchasing power, have taken to the streets in large numbers.

According to official reports, the clashes have turned deadly, with at least one person confirmed dead during the latest round of confrontations. Security forces responded with force, leading to heightened tensions and an atmosphere of fear in several major cities.

The government has attributed the unrest to “foreign interference” and “subversive elements,” while opposition groups argue that the root cause lies in the country’s deepening financial crisis and lack of meaningful reforms.

International observers are closely monitoring the situation, warning that further escalation could destabilize the region and exacerbate the humanitarian toll on ordinary Iranians.
