Iran Warns Economic Unrest Could Ignite as Crackdown Widens

Original: Economic Crisis in Iran Meets Expanding Security Response as Officials Warn Every ‘Spark’ Could Become a ‘Flame’

Iranian officials are warning that every 'spark' of public anger over the country's deepening economic crisis could turn into a 'flame', as the security response to unrest expands. The remarks point to government concern that inflation, currency collapse and deteriorating living conditions could trigger wider protests, prompting authorities to step up surveillance and repression of dissent across the country.

Why now: Iran's worsening economy is raising fears that public discontent could erupt into large-scale protests, met with a tougher security crackdown.
