Students at Allameh Tabataba’i University in Tehran stage a protest on September 28, 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Iran’s new academic year is opening with protests that are rapidly crossing the boundary between campus grievances and broader political discontent. On September 28, 2026, students at Tehran’s Allameh Tabataba’i University protested higher tuition, poor dormitory and food conditions, unemployment and compulsory hijab. Chants included “Inflation and high prices are the scourge of the people,” “Forced labor, unemployment, compulsory hijab for women,” and “No barracks, no business enterprise—long l

At a time when Mojtaba Khamenei and the upper echelons of Iran’s ruling establishment are urging regime insiders to avoid public feuding, rival factions are doing precisely the opposite.

The objective is to acclimatize society gradually. The danger is that Tehran may only be converting an immedi

In the long, grinding aftermath of the 2026 Iran war, a rare diplomatic opening appeared. The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding offered Tehran something extraordinary: an immediate halt to military operations on all fronts, commitments to respect Iranian sovereignty and territorial integrity, a pathway to lifting sanctions (including UN and unilateral measures), reopening of the Strait of Hormuz under negotiated terms, and a 60-day framework for broader nuclear talks. Yet the regime has trea
