Why are there protests in Iran?

The Daily Aus

About this episode

Iran is experiencing its largest anti-government protests in years, with demonstrations spreading across more than 100 cities and reports suggesting hundreds have been killed in a violent crackdown by authorities. What began as economic protests has evolved into a mass movement calling for the overthrow of Iran's leadership, raising questions about regional stability and potential international intervention. In today’s podcast, we’ll explain how these protests started, what’s happened since and why they’re so significant.

Hosts: Zara Seidler and Emma Gillespie
Producer: Orla Maher
