The recent spontaneous demonstrations in Iran have startled observers around the world. A social unrest which started because of worsening economic circumstances and the failure of the government to keep its promises and contain inflation and price rise has now turned into general political dissent around the country. These demonstrations, started by some anti-Hassan Rouhani factions within the Iranian regime in the city of Mashhad, got out of hand and turned into anti-Supreme Leader protests. They have been the biggest test for the Islamic republic since the mass protests of 2009.
