Iran: An Uprising Besieged from Within and Without
Three Perspectives
https://crimethinc.com/Iran2026
Starting on December 28, 2025, a new wave of protest broke out across Iran, triggered by economic distress and escalating to call for the toppling of the government. This is at least the fifth such movement in a decade, drawing on previous waves of labor unrest and feminist resistance. Yet within this uprising, the grassroots movement contends with reactionary monarchists, largely based outside Iran, who seek to win the backing of the United States and Israel to seize power.
The stakes are high. We owe it to grassroots movements in Iran to learn about them and support them, both because they are confronting a desperate situation and to ensure that a puppet regime serving the United States and Israel cannot come to power.
Here, we present three perspectives on the uprising from Iran and the surrounding region.
