Why Iran Is Protesting in 2026: The 1906–2026 Timeline Explained

We follow a timeline-driven story of Iran from 1906 to 2026 to explain why protests erupted again at the end of 2025 and continued into 2026. We start with the 1906 Constitutional Revolution and the creation of the Majlis, move through the 1953 coup that removed Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, trace Iran’s modernization under the Pahlavi monarchy, and then break down how the post-1979 political system, sanctions pressure, and recurring economic shocks set the stage for today’s unrest. We then focus on the specific, reported triggers of the 2025–2026 wave: a rapid currency slide, price spikes tied to import costs, market shutdowns, and how the protests spread nationally. Finally, we cover the documented response—crackdowns and reported nationwide internet disruptions—and why information control has become a central part of modern protest movements. This is a neutral, documentary-style explainer. The goal isn’t to tell you what to think, but to give you the context and verified milestones so you can understand the stakes and the competing narratives.
