Iran: Reports from the Last 5 Days of Nationwide Protests

From Anarchist Perspective

The fact that the uprising has lasted more than eleven days is itself a sign of a fundamental change. In previous uprisings, the regime was able to break the tide with rapid and focused repression, but this time the geographical dispersion and tactical diversity (from strikes to direct clashes) have not allowed for full control.

From Anarchist Perspective

Six days have passed since the beginning of this wave of protests, and today, January 3, 2026, the intensity and scope of the clashes in several cities showed that the regime, with all its means of repression... has not been able to clear the streets.

Looking back at the Occupy Pittsburgh commune

At our best, Occupy Pittsburgh provided many of our own needs, self-organized and shared food, clothing, medical assistance, published our own newspaper, organized spontaneous and planned disruptions, marches and occupations, organized teach-ins and discussions, acoustic jam sessions and on and on.
