Estimates say over 30,000 protesters were killed in just two days and more than 24,000 arrested, including children. Many chanted “Neither Gaza nor Lebanon, my life for Iran,” blaming leaders for regional spending while families starved. Analysts also point to foreign sanctions for crippling the currency.
