The opinion polls in Iran proved accurate as the reformist politician, Masoud Pezeshkian, secured the presidency following Ebrahim Raisi's departure due to a plane crash on May 19, 2024.

In a remarkable development of the massive popular protests taking place in Iran, killings escalated against members and leaders of the Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian security services.

The scenes of the killing and suppression of protesters in Iran during the demonstrations rejecting the killing of Mahsa Amini brought back memories of the revolution (1978-1979).

What Iranian protesters are chanting in the streets is no longer about hijab or the heavy-handed morality police, and they want nothing less than a regime change.

The situation in Iran is tight and the current protests are very susceptible to spread to all cities of the country.
