Tehran is on edge tonight. One of Iran’s most prestigious institutions — Sharif University of Technology — has turned into a battleground. What began as a memorial gathering has erupted into violent confrontations between anti-regime students and the Islamic Republic’s Basij militias.
Sharif isn’t just any university. Often called “Iran’s MIT,” it represents the country’s academic elite — the future engineers, scientists, and innovators. And now, its campus is the scene of chaos. The unrest began during a 40th-day memorial for victims killed in the latest wave of nationwide anti-government protests. In Iran, the 40-day mark carries deep symbolic weight. Students gathered to mourn — but also to send a message.
And that message was unmistakable. Videos circulating online show crowds chanting: “Death to the dictator.” “Death to Khamenei.” “We swear by the blood of our comrades, we will stand to the end.” “This is the last battle — Pahlavi will return.”
