In Iran, protests against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei have spread to most parts of the country in the last two weeks. Initially, these protests were against the economic crisis and inflation in the country, but soon their stance became completely political and the protesters started demanding the religious rulers to step down from power. Meanwhile, Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran’s last Shah, has called on protesters to be ready to capture major centers of Iranian cities.
