Date of publication: January 17, 2026

In mid-January 2026, Filip Sommer, director of the Prague Center for Middle East Relations (PCMR) at CEVRO University, commented on the current protests in Iran. The comments can be found on websites such as INFO.CZ,  Česká televize, HNOnline.sk, iRozhlas, Denik.cz, and České Noviny. 

The situation remains tense and turbulent, and a number of internal factors or external interventions could quickly escalate the situation and lead to new scenarios.
