Reply to Protest movements as deadly as Iran’s often end in revolution or civil war by statisticalanalysis_

Iran’s rulers claim without evidence that foreign governments are behind the unrest. acled’s data show that the movement is too broad for this to be credible. Protests have persisted for months, and reached all over the country. Although episodes of this scale do not always lead to regime change, they do tend to foreshadow even greater political turmoil. Iran has not seen the degree of unrest that often follows such protests since its revolution in 1979.
