“Tensions flared Sunday across Iran as anti-government protests reignited at major universities and in the streets of Tehran, with reports of tear gas and shots fired in the capital. Students gathered in Tehran and the northeastern city of Mashhad to mark 40-day memorials for those killed during January’s nationwide anti-government demonstrations before violence broke out. … Iran’s state TV showed videos of what it said were people ‘pretending to be students’ attacking pro-government students in Tehran who were taking part in protests to condemn January’s protests. The individuals were allegedly injuring students by throwing rocks, Reuters reported. Some witness accounts and opposition groups described a more forceful response by authorities. Security forces reportedly fired tear gas at crowds of demonstrators, many of them young people.” (02/22/26)
