Facing a wave of public anger, Iran's regime could be in a fight for its long-term survival, experts [View all]

Every night in Tehran, when the clock strikes nine, Iranians take to apartment rooftops and windows, and their voices echo across the city.

“Death to the dictator!” they shout, along with the slogan that has become the rallying cry of more than a month of protests, “Woman, Life, Freedom!”

“We chant every night from behind the window with the lights off, so we can’t get recognized or shot” by the police in the streets below, said one Iranian woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect her safety.

The same chants can be heard in daily protests in cities and towns across the country, a tidal wave of public anger that only seems to gain momentum even in the face of a violent crackdown by heavily armed security and paramilitary forces.
