The popular protests against the Islamic regime in Iran have reached a new level. Thousands of students have broken the government's blockade on universities in Tehran and joined the protesters.

Students who were detained in universities broke barricades and came out and shouted slogans against Khamenei. This has become a big challenge for the regime.

The protesters are raising the slogan 'Javed Shah' (Long live the king) in support of former Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.

There are reports that US representative Steve Witkoff met with Reza Pahlavi. Meanwhile, the United States has also warned that Iran will have the nuclear material needed to make a bomb within a week.

The tension in Iran is escalating as crucial talks are scheduled to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, on Thursday. This is being seen as a last-ditch effort to reach a peace agreement.

Reports indicate that the US military is prepared to deal with any situation, and that the uprising is stalling despite the repression by the IRGC.
