Reports confirm raging demos in both spots for days, with clashes killing at least 4 in Hamadán and a teen in Qom amid grenade blasts and live fire from security goons. Nationwide unrest hit Day 8, sparked by economic meltdown, rials tanking, inflation at 52%, food up 70%, spreading to 174 spots with 19+ dead, hundreds nabbed, and IRGC cracking down hard.
