The third day of student protests in Iranian universities was marked by unprecedented scenes, culminating in the burning of the flag of the Islamic Republic.
The images released of the burning of the flag of the Islamic Republic in universities are of particular symbolic importance. The raising of the lion and sun flag alongside the burning of the flag of the Islamic Republic carries a clear message about the symbolic rupture between the new generation and the government. Kambiz Hosseini discusses this issue in “The Program.”
