It is worth noting that gatherings and strikes by shopkeepers and market merchants began in Tehran on Sunday, December 28, 2025. After two days, the protests expanded beyond markets and commercial centers. With the participation of students, citizens, and various social groups, these demonstrations became one of the most widespread protests in recent years. Following the crackdown by law enforcement and security forces, thousands have been killed or injured, and tens of thousands have been arrested or summoned by security institutions.
