At this event, we will discuss dynamics of contestation in Iran before the most recent US-Israeli attacks. In particular, this panel will highlight the challenges of anti-regime opposition groups, both in the country and in the diaspora. It will also reflect upon the crackdowns on protesting people, as experienced in the massacres committed by state security forces in early January.
