Is Iran Headed For Collapse? Protests, Arson And Trump’s Dire Warning To Tehran

Violent protests have rocked Iran for more than two weeks as nationwide anti-government demonstrations intensify amid an almost complete internet blackout. Protesters have taken to the streets in Tehran and cities across all provinces, with reports of widespread clashes, arson attacks on government symbols and mosques, and chants against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Rights groups say the death toll has soared, with hundreds killed and thousands detained, though the opaque communications environment makes verification difficult. The unrest began amid economic woes and has evolved into broader anti-regime anger.
