Protests in Iran began in December 2025 amid a sharp devaluation of the rial and escalated into riots across major cities, marked by clashes with police and political demands. Supporters of Reza Pahlavi, son of the ousted Shah from 1979, were among the demonstrators. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council blamed the United States and Israel for orchestrating the unrest.
