Massive Protests Erupt in Iran Amid Government Crackdown

Anti-Government Protests Unfold in Iran

Anti-government protests have shaken Iran in the past two weeks, with reports indicating hundreds of casualties resulting from the regime's crackdown on dissenters. The demonstrations began in Tehran on December 28, triggered by economic hardships and exacerbated by long-standing grievances against the country's leaders.

On Sunday evening, President Donald Trump warned that the United States is considering "very strong options" to intervene in the situation in Iran. Iranian leaders have described the demonstrators as "a bunch of vandals," while government supporters joined pro-government marches on Monday.
