Iran's worsening economic crisis has entered a new phase in which the issue is no longer merely inflation or declining living standards, but the erosion of the regime's political legitimacy.

Some hailed the moment as a referendum from the streets showing support for the clerical establishment, and called for the strategy of confrontation with the west to be intensified. Others said it was more about a wider national pride that was conditional on demands for change and an end to the war being met.
