A fresh wave of anti-government protests has erupted in Iran, marking a significant escalation of dissent. The demonstrations began on the first day of the new academic semester, with students clashing with pro-government groups at several universities.

University Campuses Become Epicenters of Dissent

According to reports from the British publication Financial Times, students from prestigious institutions like Amirkabir University of Technology and Sharif University of Technology in the capital, Tehran, were at the forefront of the protests. Chants against the country's leadership and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei echoed across the campuses as students gathered.

Context of Escalating Tensions

These protests are unfolding against a backdrop of strained relations with the United States. The unrest in Iran initially began in December 2025, triggered by the devaluation of the national currency. These economic grievances quickly evolved into broader anti-government disturbances, accompanied by internet disruptions and reports of casualties.

This latest surge in student-led demonstrations signals a continued challenge to the current administration and highlights ongoing public dissatisfaction.
