Protests Escalate in Iran After National Currency Collapse – 'Death to the Dictator'

Protests continue in Iran following the dramatic collapse of the national currency, with demonstrators chanting slogans such as 'Death to the Dictator' and expressing support for the Shah. The protests began with a strike by merchants in Tehran's Grand Bazaar and have spread to many cities, as well as abroad. The Iranian government has pledged to listen to the protests and has removed the governor of the central bank. The US has expressed its support for the protesters, while Iran was a topic of discussion in a meeting between Trump and Netanyahu.
