Thousands of students staged renewed demonstrations at major universities across Tehran and other cities as campuses reopened a month after nationwide unrest. The earlier protests left thousands dead, especially on January 8–9 during a state-imposed communications blackout, amid concerns about potential conflict with the United States and Israel. Top institutions including the University of Tehran, Sharif, Amirkabir and Shahid Beheshti saw large participation. Clashes erupted between anti-establishment students and pro-regime peers linked to the Basij paramilitary of the IRGC, while heavily armed security forces pushed back and charged at students. Tens of thousands, including schoolchildren and university students, have been arrested and authorities have not released detailed figures.
