In recent days, the situation in Iran has affected many nerves: With Iran's announcement on the 17th that it will gradually resume the Internet services that have been interrupted since the 8th of this month, public opinion generally believes that the domestic protests that have lasted more than ten days have tended to subside. However, under the threat of intervention by the United States and Israel, the situation is still highly uncertain.

Since the Islamic Revolution, large-scale protests across the country have been commonplace, occurring no less than five times. Each protest was predicted to lead to the downfall of the regime, but in reality, we have also seen that the Islamic Republic of Iran has come this far; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); I think when we look at Iran's social movements, we need to understand that their protests are very frequent, but not always aimed at overthrowing the regime, let alone the government's inability to control the situation
