A bold protest trend showing Iranian women lighting cigarettes with photographs of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has gone viral globally.

Bodies line the streets of Iran as the nation enters its third week of deadly mass protests, with growing fears the death toll could reach as high as 2,000. What began as demonstrations over the rising cost of living has rapidly evolved into a nationwide uprising against Iran’s theocratic regime.

Authorities have imposed a near-total internet blackout as security forces crack down on protesters, with human rights groups warning of “mass killings” across multiple cities. At the centre of the unrest is growing anger toward Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and decades of strict religious rule.

Iranian women are leading the movement, igniting a powerful viral protest that has spread worldwide. Videos show women burning photos of Khamenei, removing and torching their hijabs, and openly defying morality police who have enforced mandatory dress laws since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Iran was once a relatively liberal society, but women now face harassment, imprisonment, beatings, and even death in custody for defying hijab laws. Protests intensified in 2022 following the death of Mahsa Amini while detained by morality police — and today’s demonstrations are even larger and more defiant.

Iranian-Australian lecturer Sahar Khajani says the symbolic acts of resistance are giving women hope and inspiring global solidarity, with similar protests now seen in Europe, including France. As unrest continues to grow, many believe the movement could threaten the future of Iran’s leadership itself.
