Protests continue in Iran’s second-largest city, Mahshahr, where residents have blocked off major roads for a second consecutive night. Demonstrators, estimated to number over 100,000, are rallying against the government, with reports of widespread street blockades and fires set to disrupt traffic and draw attention to their cause.
Authorities have reportedly deployed security measures in the area, with some reports indicating regime snipers are present. Protesters are utilizing smoke from street fires as a potential cover, complicating security efforts and making it harder for law enforcement to respond effectively.
The ongoing unrest in Mahshahr highlights persistent dissent in Iran, amid broader protests that have swept across various cities in recent months. The situation remains volatile, with local authorities taking measures to control the demonstrations while protesters continue to voice their demands. No immediate reports of injuries or arrests have been confirmed.
