On Tuesday, government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said students have the right to protest but must understand the country’s red lines. Her remarks mark the first official response to the renewed campus rallies.
The protests follow a deadly crackdown earlier this year and come as Iran faces pressure from the United States over its nuclear programme. The mood on campuses reflects wider frustration that has not fully faded.
