Protests in Iran continue, with dozens of reported deaths, while the Pahlavi heir calls for a general strike and pressure on the regime.

On the 13th day of protests against the regime in Iran, repression has significantly increased, with dozens of people killed by the Revolutionary Guards. Donald Trump warned that the United States would respond with force if the regime attacks the protesters. The exiled heir Reza Pahlavi sent a message urging for intensified pressure on the authorities and the organization of a general strike in key economic sectors.

The protests were triggered by a depreciation of the national currency, but have evolved into demands for political reform and the end of the regime. The authorities have intensified repression, and the supreme leader Khamenei has denounced the protesters as "vandals." Despite the internet blockade, the protests continue, with reports of hundreds of deaths and thousands of arrests.

Pahlavi promised that he would return to Iran once the revolution is victorious.
