New Protests in Iran Could Soon Spell Mullahs\u2019 Overthrown<\/a><\/p>\n

A new round of uprisings has spread in Iranian cities including the capital Tehran<\/a>, Qom, which is the center of the clergy\u2019s power, Gohardasht, and at least 10 more cities. While the protests normally start with every new round of economic free fall, they turn almost instantly against the whole apparatus of the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

Reports from inside Iran indicate that the protests are turning violent, with police cars and tyres being burned in the street. There were also reports highlighting that at least one protester has been killed in recent days. Details, however, are very hard to come by as the state media is heavily controlled and prevented from publicising information that shows the government in a negative light.<\/p>\n
