Students revive anti-regime movement

Western outlets describe the Iranian student protests as a renewed challenge to the country’s rulers, driven by anger at repression and fear of war with the United States. They say security forces are trying to contain the unrest through intimidation and selective crackdowns while talks with Washington continue.
