Mass Protests Erupt Across Tehran and Iranian Cities

Mass anti-government protests have erupted in Tehran and several other cities in Iran, with verified videos showing what activists describe as the largest public challenge to Iran’s clerical leadership in years.

Footage reviewed by Nigeria TV Info shows thousands of demonstrators marching peacefully along major roads in Tehran and the northern city of Mashhad on Thursday evening. Protesters chanted slogans calling for the overthrow of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the return of exiled royal figure Reza Pahlavi.

The demonstrations mark the 12th consecutive day of nationwide unrest, triggered by the collapse of Iran’s currency, the rial, and surging inflation. Human rights groups report that protests have spread to more than 100 cities and towns across all 31 provinces.

Analysts warn that the protests reflect deep public dissatisfaction with economic conditions and political governance, raising concerns about the stability of Iran’s leadership amid growing social unrest.
