A viral video shows an elderly Iranian woman with a red substance on her face, possibly blood or paint, defiantly shouting anti-government slogans, including "I'm not afraid. I've been dead for 47 years." This statement, referencing the 47 years since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, has become a symbol of widespread protests fueled by economic hardship and public anger. The demonstrations, intensifying nationwide, have led to internet blackouts and a crackdown by authorities, with reports of arrests and casualties. Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has also called for more protests.
