The spark for the uprising was the market. When the Iranian currency, the rial, plunged yet again, bazaar merchants in Tehran—the traditional backbone of the Islamic Republic—walked out of their shops and into the streets. The protest quickly metastasized into an anti-regime storm. Within days, unrest radiated out from provincial towns to the capital, university campuses, industrial centers and neglected borderlands.
