\"Al-Zahra
Al-Zahra University, February 24: Defiant students honor the martyrs of the January 2026 uprising, holding portraits of the fallen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Students at universities across Iran staged new anti-government protests on Tuesday, where a widening campus movement marked by anti-regime chants, clashed with pro-regime forces.\u00a0Reports suggest<\/a> demonstrations expanded from Tehran to Mashhad and Isfahan and framed the mobilization as the fourth day of a student-led uprising.<\/p>\n

Anti-authoritarian slogans dominate campus protests<\/h2>\n

Some of the most prominent chants came from the University of Tehran and Amirkabir University of Technology, where students were said to have shouted:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    \u201cDeath to the oppressor, whether Shah or Supreme Leader\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    \u201cNo monarchy, no supreme leadership \u2014 democracy, equality\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Those slogans are notable because they reject both Iran\u2019s current clerical system and any return to monarchy, underscoring a line that has become increasingly visible in parts of the student movement: opposition to authoritarian rule in any form.<\/p>\n

    At Sharif University of Technology, the report said students tore up images of senior Iranian leaders and chanted, \u201cThis is the year of blood; Seyed Ali [Khamenei] will be overthrown.\u201d At Al-Zahra University, students held photographs of people killed in the January protests and blocked Basij members from entering a gathering.<\/p>\n
