Abstract
This study dives into how digital media like Instagram and Telegram are changing the game in Iran’s political scene. Like when everyone at a party begins to whisper about something juicy; news disseminates extremely rapidly! The focus is on big events such as the 2009 Green Movement and the 2019 fuel protests. Looking closely at these examples, it becomes clear just how powerful these tools can be for rallying people together and getting voices heard. The research shows that while online platforms offer new ways to challenge authority by quickly sharing information and organizing gatherings, they also come with hurdles—especially under tight government watch.
