We know that the regime is in disarray. After three months they say they want to dissolve the Morality Police. But the protests also have a long way to match the revolutionary aspirations they have. In this context, 7 Dec (#16Azar) is a day to watch.

Another important feature of the #16Azar protests, pretty much like the "Woman, Life, Freedom" slogan, is that its history gives it an in-built defence against reactionary hijacking. And that matters a lot for Iran! Where political field is dominated by organised reactionaries.

Islamic Republic presidents Khatami and Ahmadinejad were booed by the students on #16Azar. With systematic oppression and non-existence of parties and political organisations, the student movement in Iran has been a key political field (think more Korea in 1980s than Mai 68).

In 2009 Green Movement #16Azar was an important day to reassert the movement isn't dying out (it eventually did a year later). In 2007 it was an occasion for the leftists to show their strength (possibly a miscalculation, given hundreds were arrested).

But why 7 Dec protests against the Islamist regime could be particularly significant? Because this directly connects the current movement to the democratic struggles of the past, and it's not just 1953. The Student Day (#16Azar) has continuously been a headache for the dictators.

Each year 7 Dec (#16Azar in Iranian calendar) has a special political significance as a barometer of discontent. Fast forward to the current uprising, calls for consecutive days of action and the teachers union's support: this is the second time 3 day protests are organised.
