Seventeen days into Iran’s nationwide protest wave, the Islamic Republic appears—at least for now—to have succeeded in suppressing large-scale street mobilization following a tremendous wave of violence. In recent days, there have been no reports of demonstrations comparable to earlier phases of unrest. Some videos circulated on social media purporting to show active demonstrations were instead repackaged video from earlier days of the protest wave. Most major urban centers remain visibly quiet, and shops and small businesses in several cities have begun to reopen gradually, signaling a cautious and uneven return to daily routines under heavy security surveillance.
