The Continuing Protests in Iran
The street calm in Iran is misleading, although the scale of demonstrations has subsided, the depth of people’s sense of outrage and injustice has not.

Over the last several days the street protests have seemed to quiet, but, according to Sadjapour, “the street calm is misleading, although the scale of demonstrations has subsided, the depth of people’s sense of outrage and injustice has not. One way of measuring this is too listen to people’s chants, which they are making from their rooftops at night, of “Allahu Akbar” (God is great). This is reminiscent of the chants from the 70’s during the revolution and from all accounts these cries are as loud as they have ever been.”
