Anniversary of the Iranian revolution

The Pahlavi dynasty officially ended and finally, conditions were prepared to forming the Islamic Republic led by the cleric, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

[5] In response, top opposition leaders, Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karoubi condemned the executions and called for protests on the February 11 anniversary of the revolution.

[8] According to opposition website, Rahesabz, thousands of anti-government protesters gathered largely in the outskirts of the main area of the celebrations,[9] and chanted "Death to the Dictator!".

[18][19][20] Additional anti-regime mass demonstrations took place worldwide, as thousands  of internationally based Iranians, many of whom relatives of victims of the regime, protested in their countries of residence.

In addition to other anti-regime slogans, and urged the EU to list the Revolutionary Guard as a terror organization and to cut economic ties with Iran.

[25] This coincided with other forms of protest as many Iranians boycotted the official rallies commemorating the event, in stark contrast to previous years.

[26] Various videos and photos circulating in social media show meager participation in the official events and venues, despite the government's efforts to appeal to the public by softening the enforcement of the compulsory Hijab,[27] and providing recreational activities on the streets.

[31] As a response security forces of the Islamic Republic dispersed the demonstrations, and reportedly fired shotgun pellets and tear gas at the protesters.

[31] Although media alligned with the regime suggest that the cause for the protests is "tribal conflicts", evidence from the demonstrations themselves reveals them to be focused on econonmic issues, including record-high inflation and price increase for basic items, recurring power outages and extreme air pollution from industrial centers and power plants.
