Protests have erupted across Iran as the rial's value plummets, marking significant civil unrest. Demonstrators have gathered in multiple cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz, with authorities using tear gas against them. Central bank governor Mohammad Reza Farzin resigned amid the turmoil, and President Masoud Pezeshkian has acknowledged the economic hardships. The unrest is reminiscent of the protests following Mahsa Amini's death in 2022, with some participants calling for the restoration of the monarchy. Inflation and consumer prices have surged, exacerbating the situation.
