At the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018, Iran saw the largest demonstrations since the 2009 presidential election. On Dec. 28, protests broke out in the northern city of Mashhad, spurred at first by concern over the country’s stunted economy and the high prices of basic goods like eggs, which saw a 40 percent jump in price.
Iranian authorities blocked access to social media and messaging apps that would allow demonstrators to organize. Nearly 8,000 people were arrested during Iran’s bloody month of protest.
