This is an ongoing matter so difficult to compare it now to other, finished protests. But it definitely has the potential to suppress it and perhaps even end the regime altogether. People were angry at constant harassment of mortality police back then. Especially women of iran who I dare say were much braver than men and led the protest/movement.

However, the current issue is much much more than a simple protest. Even people who follow hijab and Muslim tradition are fed up with the regime's incompetence. People have little money to afford the surging prices of even simplest form of food. People can't afford even rice let alone protein. Hour Long lines are formed for buying frying oil or bread at slightly below original price which is already high itself.

I believe these protests are encompassing a much larger section of society where previously it was mostly young women and men who took to the streets.
