Several universities in Tehran and Mashhad were the scene of anti-government protests at the beginning of the new academic semester, and clashes occurred between protesters and "Basij" forces at Sharif University of Technology.

These protests coincided with the commemoration of the fortieth day since the deaths of protesters from the December uprising across Iran on Saturday, February 21.

According to videos shared on social media from the student protests at Sharif University of Technology, they chanted slogans such as "Freedom, freedom," "Until the cleric is buried, this homeland will not be a homeland," "This is the last battle, the Pahlavis will return," "We fight, we die, we take back Iran," and "All these years of crime, death to this regime."

Reports indicate that government-supporting forces attacked the students after they chanted these slogans, which were met with chants of "Shameless, shameless" from the students. According to videos published by the Student News Agency, Basij students chanted: "Their mourning is a performance, Pahlavi is their leader." Other videos show them chanting "Haydar Haydar" in front of the students.

First video, third and last received. I took the video of the slogans from social media.
I noticed that some media mistakenly broadcast old videos of street events that I had published in previous years:
