- The Iranian government responded to protests with violence, including internet shutdowns and shootings by security forces.
- U.S. sanctions and travel bans have severely limited educational opportunities for Iranians, exacerbating the impact of government suppression.
- Regime officials and their families enjoy privileges and education abroad, starkly contrasting with the struggles of ordinary Iranians.
- Iranians are raising awareness and protesting against regime officials' children studying or working in Western countries.
