As recently as October, many European politicians and American analysts confidently declared that American sanctions on the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) had united the Iranian people behind the nation's government. In fact, Iran's foreign minister, Javad Zarif, tweeted a proclamation saying, "Today, Iranians — boys, girls, men, women — are ALL IRGC; standing firm with those who defend us & the region against aggression & terror.”

INU -After beginning with a focus on economic issues last Thursday, the nationwide protests in the Islamic Republic of Iran quickly became outlets for a number of familiar activist causes.
