BBC News Iran anti-government protests spread to majority of provinces, videos show | BBC News

Protests have broken out in at least 17 of Iran’s 31 provinces, presenting the largest challenge to the country’s clerical establishment since 2022, a BBC Verify and BBC Persian analysis has found.

The BBC’s analysis of protests includes only those for which we have verified video footage – the true number is almost certainly far higher. There are reports of protests in a further 11 provinces.

The wave of protests has spread rapidly across Iran since 28 December, when anger initially broke out in the capital Tehran following a fresh and sharp devaluation of the country’s currency against the dollar and other major foreign currencies.
