Anti-government uprisings are to remain a sticking point and increase in frequency in Iran's political landscape as dissatisfaction with other factors like the country's economic conditions surface, according to analysts.
"There is no economic justice or prospect of hope for the future, and this is driving widespread anger that is violently spilling over on the streets," said Sanam Vakil, deputy director and senior research fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs. Protests have spread to more than 50 cities in the one month since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested for allegedly breaking Iran's strict hijab rules. She died while in the custody of morality police.
These protests will be met with force, and increase the Islamic Republic's dependence on Iran's elite armed forces, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, she told CNBC.
