Massive Protests Erupt in Iran Amid Severe Economic Crisis

The Economic Crisis in Iran Generates Social Unrest

In Iran, thousands of people are taking to the streets to protest against the devastating effects of a deep economic crisis. From a sharp decline in the value of the national currency to skyrocketing inflation, the country's economy has reached a critical point. This time, the government has adopted a different approach, insisting on a dialogue mechanism amid the ongoing protests.

As the nation faces prolonged sanctions, the question remains: what solutions can the leadership provide to alleviate the situation? Additionally, central themes in discussions revolve around the potential consequences of escalating protests.

Panelists in the debate include Ali Akbar Dareini – a researcher at the Center for Strategic Studies, Marzie Khalilian – a political analyst and academic researcher, and Stephen Zunes – a professor of political science and founder of Middle Eastern studies at the University of San Francisco.
