“Protest activity in Iran is increasing and returning to levels not seen since the end of 2022. Most of the protests are focused on worsening economic conditions in Iran.

The Mahsa Amini memorial movement focused mainly (but not exclusively) on socio-cultural and political issues.
However, economically motivated protests can galvanize the Machs Amini memorial movement and develop it, as Critical Threats previously suggested.
