Deadly protests grip Iran over economic crisis
7News Just In - A podcast by 7NEWS Podcasts - Wednesdays
Mass protests against Iran's Islamic regime have entered their fifth consecutive day, turning deadly with at least three people killed and 17 injured. The demonstrations, sparked by worsening economic conditions including high inflation and a currency crash to record lows against the dollar, represent the biggest uprising in the country since 2022 when protests erupted over the death of Mahsa Amini. The unrest occurs amid heightened tensions between Iran and the West, with President Trump warning Iran over its nuclear programme and the State Department calling for an end to the government's crackdown on demonstrators.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
