About a month ago, a young woman named Massa Amini died in a hospital in Tehran.

The police reportedly arrested her for failing to sufficiently cover her hair.

In the days that followed, Iranians protested.

Young women burnt their hijabs.

They cut their hair.

This time, I cut it with anger.

I needed to do something to take part in what my beautiful brave people are.

The government cracked down.

Dozens of protesters are now reportedly dead, but the protests in Iran continue to grow.

A month later, these protests now represent a host of grievances with one through line,

the end of the Islamic Republic.

On today's explain, we're going to figure out whether that's a real possibility here.
