Iran Security Force Member Killed As Protests Spread
The Spin
Pro-Iran narrative
People are exercising their legitimate right to protest amid mounting economic pressure, but the moment is being actively exploited from outside. The hardship driving these demonstrations is inseparable from illegal Western sanctions that continue to squeeze daily life. Foreign actors, particularly Israel and aligned Western media, are amplifying selective narratives through disinformation to manufacture instability and legitimize further pressure on Iran.
Anti-Iran narrative
Iran's economic collapse has laid bare the regime's systemic failure, with the currency plunging 56% and basic necessities slipping out of reach for ordinary citizens. The protests spreading from Tehran’s bazaars to universities nationwide have moved beyond prices or wages and taken on a broader political character. Demonstrators are openly rejecting the regime's entire system, with demands no longer focused on reform but on ending the regime itself.
