Iran faces pressure from reformers amid strictures and revolt
The piece notes Iran's political climate as conservatives under Ayatollah Khamenei dominate institutions while reformist voices gain traction. It cites police crackdowns, the closure of reformist cleric Abdullah Nouri’s newspaper, and the Guardian Council blocking nearly 600 candidates. Analysts warn reforms may ease West hostility but not end the revolution. Youth drive the push for change amid limited freedoms and a rise in underground activities.
