Protest at Metro station in Tehran

Groups of angry citizens staged spontaneous protests at Ali Abad and Khazaneh metro stations in Tehran. The protests were triggered by repeated delays and mismanagement in metro train operations.

Frustrated commuters responded by chanting slogans such as “Death to the Dictator” and “Death to the Islamic Republic,” transforming a routine public transport disruption into a clear act of political defiance.

These outbursts reflect growing public dissatisfaction not only with everyday hardships but also with the broader political climate in Iran.
