Protests are spreading across Iran for the third consecutive day as the national currency, the rial, hits a record low, triggering unrest among citizens who are increasingly frustrated with the dire economic situation. Demonstrators have taken to the streets, clashing with security forces, while calling for the regime to step down. The Iranian government has responded by offering dialogue to engage with protesters and address their grievances. Amidst these developments, the president has urged officials to listen to the demands of demonstrators, including shopkeepers and students who have joined the rallies.
