Iran Protests 2026: Rial Crash Sparks Nationwide Strikes in 17 Provinces

Описание: Iran witnesses massive protests and strikes triggered by the rial's unprecedented plunge to 1.4–1.44 million per US dollar on December 29, 2025, devastating purchasing power and inflating import costs as bazaar merchants in Tehran's Grand Bazaar, Lalezar, Jomhouri, and Shoush/Molavi districts shutter shops and march in fury. Demonstrations rapidly expand to at least 17 of 31 provinces by December 30–31, hitting major cities like Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad, Shiraz, Yazd, Kermanshah, Hamadan, Qeshm Island, Zanjan, and Ahvaz amid severe economic crisis with skyrocketing prices. Security forces deploy tear gas, batons, and live ammunition in cities including Hamadan, reporting one protester killed in Kuhdasht and dozens arrested as tensions escalate nationwide.
