Iranians Protest for 12th Day as Kurdish Opposition Calls for General Strike

  • Nationwide protests in Iran have continued for 12 days, driven by economic distress and mismanagement, with over 38 reported deaths, including four security members, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency.
  • A police officer named Mahmoud Haghighat was killed during the unrest, with investigations ongoing to find the assailants.
  • Support for the protesters has come from US President Donald Trump and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which prompted a warning from Iran's top judge, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei.
  • The Iranian rial has sharply depreciated, recently exceeding 1,350,000 against the US dollar, causing widespread protests that began at Tehran's Grand Bazaar.
