Iranian students launched widespread protests at universities in Tehran, Mashhad, and other cities at the start of the 2026 academic year, coinciding with 40-day mourning ceremonies for victims of recent anti-government unrest.
Demonstrations, reported at Sharif University of Technology, Beheshti University, Amir Kabir University, and Mashhad University, featured chants against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calls for Reza Pahlavi, and demands for political change.
Clashes erupted between protesters and pro-government Basij militia members, with videos showing rock-throwing and injuries.
