I have been getting my information from a Telegram channel called Fortros Resistance. This is what they say:

• Latest update

🇮🇷| Field report from Iran protests today on December 30 - Tuesday:

• The overall situation in cities was calm today, and calls for gatherings did not really receive widespread support.

• However, gatherings were held today at several universities in Tehran with a limited number of students.

At the University of Tehran, around 50 people initially gathered on campus, and the number later increased to about 300.

At Amirkabir University, a group of students made a brief move toward Enghelab Street, but did not continue & later got scattered.

Gatherings of about 100 people were also reported at the University of Science and Culture & the University of Science and Technology.

• Additionally, a small gathering of shopkeepers took place this afternoon at Tehran’s iron market, but was considered limited in scope since the government accepted to implement change in favour of the shopkeepers.

Chants from this video: “Protesting is our right, being united is our path.”

• Opinion of the protest

❗️Be wary of manipulated protest videos.

This video of the shopkeeprs gathering in the market, published on social media, shows the top video with a different audio to manipulate the agenda.

The terrorist opposition like Masih Alinejad, Tommy Robinson, and these lowlife US senators & Pahlavi supporters attempt to hijack the people's right to protest and steer the discourse to something completely different.

The protests today have steered away from the original cause, which was the shopkeeper’s protest to inflation. Now a couple of peer pressured groups of people and students have come outside and hijacked the main cause of the protests.

In reality, even today protests are nothing and minimal, but on social media, they are making it seem like it’s over, the “regime” is about to fall—reality check: it’s not.
