Iran protests surge: Is Russia losing a key ally? | News in Depth

Описание: Iran’s latest protests started over money problems, but as Marcin Zaborowski points out, that’s usually how much bigger political uprisings begin. He argues that soaring inflation, a collapsing currency, and bleak prospects for Iran’s very young population are pushing people to question the regime itself, not just prices.

Zaborowski says real economic relief is unlikely without a change in leadership, because sanctions and Iran’s confrontational foreign policy are at the core of the crisis. On Donald Trump’s tough talk, he’s skeptical, suggesting it’s more about pressure tactics and self-promotion than a genuine plan to intervene.

He also explains that Iran’s mixed response—talking about dialogue while cracking down hard—is nothing new and reflects how fragmented the system is between the president and the supreme leader. Finally, Zaborowski stresses that Russia desperately wants the current leadership to survive, because losing Iran would be a major blow to Moscow’s power and its war effort in Ukraine.
