Protests in Iran against the worsening economy have resulted in at least three deaths, with demonstrations spreading to rural areas. The protests are the largest since 2022, following the death of Mahsa Amini. Authorities may respond more forcefully as tensions rise, particularly in Lordegan, where gunfire was reported. Economic pressures, including inflation and currency devaluation, are fueling the unrest, with calls for the government to address citizens' concerns.
