The country’s streets explode at the time Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi appointed.

Iran protests spread to 180 cities as authorities allegedly use lethal force against demonstrators, with Human Rights Activists in Iran reporting 65 killed and 2,300 arrested.

Marching alongside a column of protesters through the city of Borujerd in western Iran, a middle-aged woman appeared unperturbed by the blood streaming down her chin. “I am not afraid,” she called out in a video clip posted by Iran International. “I have been dead for 47 years.”

That certainly has been my experience in discussions with Iran experts and Western government officials. But it is clear that the West needs to engage in serious policy planning to provide support to the Iranian people if such a dramatic change occurs.

Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and frequent critic of Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's regime, posted a message on X in support of the widespread protests happening in the Mideast nation and assuring the protesters that President Donald Trump has "noticed" their resistance.

As Iran's exiled crown prince predicts his imminent return, the Islamic Republic shirks Trump's warnings and threatens protesters with maximum punishment.

Demonstrations that began as outrage at the state of the economy have spread to cities across the country, amid an escalating crackdown by the authorities.

Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Pahlavi appeals to President Donald Trump for immediate intervention as Iran implements internet blackout amid deadly protests.
