In Iran, tensions remain high as the regime, under immense pressure from the outside, is doing all it can to keep a lid on popular unrest. Last night, authorities warned people to stay indoors on what is traditionally an occasion for street celebrations ahead of the Persian New Year. Video posted on X showed people defying those orders, like here in Tehran.

Opposition groups say there were similar gatherings in cities across the country.
