Iran Uprising | January 8, 2026
This moment is defined by endurance: protests persisted from daylight into night across multiple cities, with expanding participation, symbolic disruption of state authority, and ongoing repression.
What matters now is not a single event, but what continues to hold.

For clarity: this analysis does not argue for reform, moderation, or preservation of the Islamic regime.
The majority of Iranians are demanding regime change.
The slides explain the structures people are rising against, and why economic collapse so often becomes political confrontation in Iran.

#DonyaHosseini was arrested before during the #WomanLifeFreedom movement. Since her release, her social media has not so active. But, the Islamic regime doesn't need an actual reason to harass the people.

Across Iran, the call is clear: the people demand the right to shape their own future. Not through foreign intervention or imposed agendas, but through their own voices, their own will.
