Iran Protests Erupt Amid Currency Collapse and Central Bank Chief's Resignation

Mass protests erupted across Iran, including in Tehran, following the rial's collapse to a record low against the US dollar. The currency's sharp depreciation has led to soaring prices and severe financial strain for citizens. In response to the unrest, Central Bank chief Mohammad Reza Farzin reportedly resigned. President Masoud Pezeshkian acknowledged the protesters' demands as legitimate and tasked the interior minister with dialogue to address the economic crisis.
