NEW | Iranian Protests: The rate and geographic scope of protests in Iran increased on January 1 and 2. The protests in Iran have become more violent since January 1, primarily in less populated and more rural areas. Protesters have in some instances responded violently to security forces’ use of violence and force.
Anti-regime protests spread to Sistan and Baluchistan Province in southeastern Iran on January 2. Sistan and Baluchistan Province has long posed an internal security challenge for the Iranian regime due to recurring anti-regime activity in the province. The newly established Mobarizoun Popular Front (MPF), which is a coalition of Baloch organizations, issued a statement on January 2 in which it declared support for the ongoing protests.
