ICG Warns of Imminent Social Unrest in Iran

The International Crisis Group publishes an urgent briefing warning that Iran's economic deterioration has created conditions for large-scale social unrest. The report notes that working-class Iranians are spending over 70% of household income on food, energy costs are spiraling, and public anger at the regime's war spending is reaching a tipping point not seen since the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests.
