The people of Iran are in open revolt, this time led by courageous young women protesting the murder of Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish woman who died in the custody of the morality police, and the law requiring they wear hijab.

Pro-regime chants of “death to America” and “death to Israel” have been a staple of the rhetorical diet fed to the public.

European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Iran should “immediately stop the violent crackdown on protests and ensure internet access.

State media said 12 bank branches were destroyed in the unrest in recent days, and 219 ATMs have been damaged.
