Iran is in the middle of big protests. The government is not happy. They say protesters are enemies. Over 100 people have been killed. More than 2, 600 people have been arrested. The protests started because the money in Iran is not worth much. It has lost half its value since September. People are upset. They are protesting against the government. Reza Pahlavi is a big name in these protests. He is the son of the last king of Iran. He has been living outside Iran for almost 50 years. He is encouraging people to protest. He wants them to use the old flag of Iran. He wants them to take over public spaces.
Pahlavi is a controversial figure. Some people support him. Others do not. He supports Israel. This has made some people upset. He wants a constitutional monarchy. But he says it is up to the people to decide. The government is not sitting idle. They are using security forces. They are using media to show their side. They say protesters have weapons. They say protesters are terrorists. It is not clear what will happen next. The protests are big. The government is strong. Pahlavi is a divisive figure. The future of Iran is uncertain.
