Recent protests in Tehran have left visible scars on Iran's capital, with witnesses reporting damaged buses, charred bank buildings, and even mosques affected by the unrest. The clashes mark some of the most intense demonstrations the city has seen this year, as crowds gathered to voice grievances amid heavy security presence.
🚌 Infrastructure Impact: Public transport systems were particularly hard-hit, with multiple buses vandalized or set ablaze. Local shopkeepers described scenes of chaos near Valiasr Square, where protesters clashed with authorities late into the night.
💬 Eyewitness Accounts: "The smell of smoke lingered until morning," shared a university student who requested anonymity. Social media footage (later removed) showed crowds chanting slogans while emergency services struggled to contain fires at government buildings.
🌍 Global Attention: The protests come as international observers monitor Iran's domestic policies closely. While official statements remain limited, analysts suggest economic pressures and youth unemployment may be driving factors behind the latest unrest.
