Reaction of the Iranian authorities to the mass protests in autumn 2022

In the autumn of 2022, mass protests took place in Iran demanding the abolition of the morality police and even the elimination of the Islamic regime itself. These protests were unprecedented in scale in Iran's post-Islamic revolution history. There were also killed hundreds of people on both sides. The country's authorities accused the West and foreign opposition of organizing protests and killing military and police officers. Most of the detained demonstrators were released under an amnesty, but none of the protesters' main demands was met, which risks resuming mass protests in the near future.
