On January 6th 2021, there were multiple reports of protests across Iran which quickly went viral. While no violence or confrontation with the government was reported, the country was placed on lockdown as a result of the social unrest. Social media sites were blocked and communication apps were rendered inaccessible in the country as the Iranian government attempted to curb the dissemination of news. On the morning of January 8th President Hassan Rouhani announced that the "insurrection" had been quashed, claiming the protests had been organized by foreign agents. This statement was contested by human rights activists and advocacy groups who claimed the government had instead used violence and arrests to suppress any demonstrations. While the exact cause of the protests remain unknown, the Iranian government's reaction to the events suggests there was an underlying level of discontent in the country which had, at least in part, led to the reported unrest.  In response, there were widespread calls for free expression and democracy throughout the country. As of late January 2021, the future of Iran remains uncertain as reports of protests have continued.
