חצי שנה למלחמה, באיראן חוזרים לדבר על מחאות: "אנשים רעבים. כלום לא יעצור את זה"

הערכה

Six months into the war, Iran's economic crisis is deepening to the point where basic goods are becoming scarce and fuel prices may rise. A Tehran resident tells the New York Times that an economic uprising cannot be stopped, even as the regime has killed tens of thousands to suppress past protests. The regime's internal messaging reveals anxiety: Khamenei's son warns against statements that provoke despair, suggesting the leadership fears the economic pressure more than it lets on. Watch for whether rising prices and hunger translate into sustained street action, and how the regime's security apparatus responds.
