IRAN IS COPING WITH ITS BIGGEST OBSTACLES IN YEARS

  • 23/09/2022

The most significant challenge Iran's leadership has faced in recent years is the explosion of nationwide protests that followed the death in police custody of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman detained for allegedly breaking hijab (headscarf) rules.

Mahsa Amini's family and a large number of Iranians believe she was beaten to death, despite the fact that the authorities claim she died from underlying medical conditions.

The protesters claim that if they don't take immediate action, they might suffer the same fate. 

It has happened at a time when Iranians are especially irate. Iran's young and vibrant population is feeling hopeless due to institutionalised corruption among the country's political elite, growing poverty brought on by inflation of more than 50%, the standstill in nuclear negotiations, and a lack of social and political freedom.

By June 2021, at least 25 million Iranians, according to the Social Security Organization Research Institute, were living in poverty. This number has since increased.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has experienced protests before, so this is not the first instance. However, many onlookers think they are unique in some way.

This is, above all, a woman's protest.
