Widespread anti-government protests have been ongoing in Iran for over a week, fueled by a long-running economic crisis and growing frustration with the regime. At least 29 people have been killed and over 1,200 arrested. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has urged dialogue and promised economic reforms, while Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called for security forces to quell the unrest. US President Donald Trump has raised the threat of intervention, warning that the US is 'locked and loaded and ready to go' if Iranian authorities use violence against peaceful demonstrations. Analysts warn that the unrest has revived concerns about possible American intervention, and that Iran's economy has struggled since Trump pulled the US out of the Iranian nuclear deal in 2018.

The Iranian government has announced a monthly payment of approximately $7 to its citizens amidst ongoing protests across the country.

The plan involves redirecting $10 billion previously spent on import subsidies to direct assistance for citizens. The protests, which have spread to at least 78 cities and 222 locations, are driven by economic hardship caused by sanctions and declining oil revenues.
