Outrage in Iran after woman dies in police custody after arrest over "improper" hijab

[It’s so Joever]

I am not saying this ever would happen, but wouldn't it be a crazy midterm shakeup if the October surprise is Iran and Russia both changing leaders?

I don't really see how that would affect US midterm elections, but it would be an astounding development as far as international news goes.

The widely hated Putin AND Ayatollah collapsing would likely help Biden a lot tbh.

My worry is how large are these protests actually. Is this genuinely some Arab Spring moment, or are we just seeing response bias. I’m not saying this to be annoying, I hope they are widespread but it’s hard to tell.

Just looking geographically, I would take a guess that Mashhad is probably a more conservative city relative to the country, would that be right?
If so…dang.

Does there exist any polling on how popular these protests actually are?

80% of Iranians and a clear majority of Iranian Americans born between 1985 and 1999 are against these protests.

Source of the second?
