Armed police flood Iran’s universities to crush student protests

Armed police and security forces have been deployed to Iranian universities to suppress ongoing student protests against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. For four days, students have engaged in demonstrations, leading to clashes with state-backed militias and closures of in-person classes at some universities. Protesters are chanting slogans demanding the release of political prisoners and criticizing the government. These protests coincide with upcoming nuclear program talks in Geneva between Iranian and US officials. Iran's attorney general has called for decisive action against the protesters, accusing them of being influenced by enemies of the state. The unrest occurs as the US increases its military presence in the region, potentially impacting the outcome of the nuclear negotiations.
