Iran protests continue as the nationwide movement enters its third week, marked by widespread unrest and crackdowns. This conflict zone update reflects the situation on the ground, based on ongoing conflict monitoring and open-source reporting. Videos from Urmia and Tehran show large crowds in urban frontline areas, as a near-total internet blackout limits communication and international coverage.

Clashes with security forces have impacted affected communities and worsened the humanitarian situation. Casualty figures remain hard to verify, with rights groups reporting hundreds killed and thousands detained. This serves as concise war documentation focused on civil impact.
