The Iranian government, through its spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani, has issued a stern warning to students protesting in universities, particularly in Tehran, against crossing "red lines" such as attacking sacred sites and the Iranian flag. This warning comes as videos circulating on social media show students burning the Islamic Republic's flag, adopted after the 1979 revolution, and chanting slogans like "Death to the dictator" against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. These demonstrations, which have led to clashes between opposing groups, are occurring amidst heightened international tensions and threats of American military intervention. The government acknowledges the right to protest but emphasizes the need to protect national symbols and sacred places, even during periods of intense anger.
