Iran Protests Deepen: 'Trump Street' Signs Emerge Amid Economic Collapse & Defiance

  • Protesters in Iran are informally renaming streets "Trump Street" as a symbolic act of defiance against the Islamic Republic amid deepening unrest.
  • The protests, sparked by economic collapse and soaring prices, began in Tehran's bazaar and have spread nationwide, targeting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
  • Iranian security forces have responded with force, leading to at least 27 protester deaths and over 1,000 arrests, according to Iran Human Rights.
  • The Iranian rial hit a record low against the US dollar, intensifying public anger over inflation and declining living standards.
  • US President Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu voiced support for protesters, while Iran accused them of interference and warned of forceful response.

Why It Matters: Iran's protests escalate with symbolic "Trump Street" signs, fueled by economic crisis and international tensions.
