Widespread, multigenerational protests and intensified external pressure have left Iran’s Islamic Republic weakened and potentially vulnerable to overthrow.
Tehran, the heart of the Islamic Republic, is revealed to be a city of modernity and concealed resistance, once hidden beneath layers of theocratic governance.
