Iran’s post-war gamble on the young
Iran is leveraging the aftermath of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's assassination to reinvigorate the Islamic Revolution, with state-organized mourning rituals and public displays of unity. Post-funeral, the country has seen relaxed social restrictions, including dress code enforcement and mixed-gender gatherings, as the regime seeks to align with younger generations.
