A wave of unrest has gripped the Islamic republic since Amini died on September 16 after her arrest by the morality police in Tehran for allegedly violating the country's strict dress code for women. The street violence has led to dozens of deaths -- mostly of protesters but also members of the security forces -- and hundreds have been arrested. For more on the civil uprising, FRANCE 24 is joined by Dr. Ali Fathollah-Nejad, German–Iranian political scientist focusing on Iran, the Middle East, and the post-unipolar world order. "We're amid a revolutionary process in Iran," explains Dr. Fathollah-Nejad. He says that this movement poses a "grave danger" to Iran's system of government. "The gravest, relatively speaking, in their history."
