1. 46 years after I was held hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, I have never seen protests against the Islamic Republic like this—so profound, powerful, and sustained. Thirteen days and counting, nationwide.
2. These protests are remarkable not just for their scale, but for where they began: the bazaar—once the clergy’s strongest ally. Rampant inflation, a moribund economy, corruption, and mismanagement have fractured the country.
3. The regime has cut off the internet to contain the outrage. Yet videos continue to emerge, showing chants calling for the end of the Islamic Republic and “Death to the Dictator (Khamenei).”
4. Iranians are also protesting catastrophic mismanagement: stolen public funds, systemic corruption, and a country literally drying up—running out of water.
5. Beneath it all is something deeper: a people who have had enough of a brutal authoritarian state that murders innocents, imprisons human rights activists, and has destroyed civil society
6. The chant says it all:
“Poverty, corruption, rising prices—we will continue until overthrow.”
