For 47 years, Iranians have lived under a dictatorship many no longer want.
Now the country may have reached a breaking point.
Iranians have recognized that they need to take matters into their own hands,
pushing back against authority.
We ask three central questions about how Iran got here and what comes next.

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly.
Senate Democrats say they've reached a funding agreement with Republican lawmakers ahead of tonight's deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown.
NPR's Barbara Sprunt says Democrats want changes made at the Department of Homeland Security on immigration enforcement before agreeing to any long-term spending proposal for DHS.
Originally,
the Senate was going to vote on one big package with six funding bills for various agencies.
Now,
Senate Democrats say there's a deal on the table to vote for five appropriations bills and a separate two-week continuing resolution for the Department of Homeland Security.
They've refused to support funding that agency without making major changes to immigration enforcement.
The move allows other government services to continue
while carving out more time to negotiate on changes to DHS.
But the House must also vote on those five funding bills, and they're on recess.
If the House acts quickly upon returning,
the effects of a shutdown could be limited as most federal offices are closed on the weekend.
