Protests in Iran are waning, but the problem is not solved
In recent days, the activity of protest demonstrations in Iran has significantly decreased. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This is said to be due to the government's harsh measures, strong pressure, and restrictions on communication channels. According to The Wall Street Journal, the movement on the streets has slowed down due to bloody clashes and communication outages.
According to information provided by the Human Rights Activists in Iran organization, by January 14, almost no new protests were observed. This situation is explained by the restrictions on communication channels: in some areas, telephone networks are not working and the internet has been cut off, making it difficult to fully assess the situation.
According to the data, more than 2,600 people have died so far, and over 18,000 have been detained. The internet outage lasting eight days hinders an accurate assessment of the scale of the protests.
Due to limited information exchange, protest movements have dispersed and street activity has decreased. Some Iranians emphasize that cities have fallen into a "terrible silence."
People do not dare to go out onto the streets because of pressure and fear. According to Ali Voiz, an analyst from an international crisis group, the government's harsh measures have temporarily stopped the protesters.
However, this silence may not last long. Experts emphasize that economic problems and dissatisfaction with the authorities have not yet been resolved.
For this reason, the situation may escalate again at any time. According to the memories of witnesses in Tehran, protests had intensified on the city streets in previous weeks, but now peace prevails in the capital.
Nevertheless, minor clashes have been reported in some areas. Official data on the number of victims and detainees has not yet been released.
Officials claim that foreign countries, particularly the US and Israel, are behind the protests. In conclusion, although the streets in Iran currently appear calm, it is difficult to say that the problem has been solved.
Where the internet and communication channels are cut off, voices may be silenced, but the factors causing the protests do not disappear. Therefore, the situation in the country may escalate again at any time.
