Iranian Student Protests Persist Amid Government Crackdown and US-Iran Tensions

Iranian college campuses continue to witness anti-government protests despite a government crackdown seven weeks ago. Student groups, traditionally divided among progressives, monarchists, and regime loyalists, have formed a fragile alliance opposing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Authorities have responded with threats and campus closures, shifting classes online. These campus protests persist amid heightened tensions with the US over Iran's nuclear program, reflecting ongoing societal defiance and uncertainty about the country's future direction.
