Current protests in Iran, now in their sixth day, have become the biggest since 2022, when the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody triggered nationwide demonstrations. Although protests took root in economic issues, demonstrator chants against Iran’s theocracy have been heard. US President Donald Trump threatened the US could intervene were protestors killed, prompting government representatives to denounce a ‘red line’.
