Iran is witnessing a dramatic surge in unrest after protesters reportedly stormed and burned a Basij paramilitary headquarters in the city of Asadabad, Hamadan province. The Basij — a key arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard — is typically deployed to crush demonstrations, making the attack a serious escalation against the regime. Crowds were heard chanting “Death to Khamenei” as anti-government protests spread nationwide amid soaring inflation, currency collapse, and growing economic despair. Meanwhile, exiled opposition figure Reza Pahlavi is calling for nationwide strikes and international support, while Tehran officials blame foreign interference — including alleged Israeli involvement — as security forces warn of a “decisive response.”
