In Iran, protests erupted Monday over the country’s falling currency and dire economic situation. Merchants and shopkeepers near Tehran’s Grand Bazaar closed their businesses and joined demonstrations. Footage posted on social media showed demonstrators chanting “azadi,” the Farsi word for freedom. Another video shows security forces in riot gear confronting the protesters and firing tear gas. Since Iran’s 12-day war with Israel back in June, Iran’s currency has lost 60% of its value. On Monday, the head of Iran’s central bank resigned as protests spread throughout the country.
