Скачать или смотреть FURIOUS uprising explodes in Iran with regime on brink of collapse

Protests continue to rage in Iran for the 12th day, with a defence expert believing the regime is "over".

Former security minister and Tonbridge MP Tom Tugendhat responded on January 8 to a video circulating on social media reportedly showing a government building in Tehran on fire, questioning how long the regime has left. He wrote on X: "The regime is over.

"The questions now are: How long will it take to die? And how many more will it kill in the time it has left?"

It is not clear what caused the fire at the building and whether it is linked to the protests.

Tonight, hundreds of people seemingly took to the streets in a number of areas in Iran, from the capital Tehran to Babol, as well as in Kish Island and in the second-largest city in the country, Mashhad.

Many clips circulating on social media didn't show violence being carried out by the protesters, who were instead seen marching and chanting in favour of the end of the regime.

The wave of unrest began late last month over mounting frustration with the Iranian regime and its handling of the economic crisis.

Shopkeepers and university students alike have taken to the streets following a sharp fall in the value of the national currency, the rial.
