This one was a purely student protest:
Iran student protests, July 1999 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These two also had strong student support (many demonstrations on or near campuses etc):

Actually what kinda reforms are people in Iran demanding? U already have a democracy!!!

Is it against religion interfering in politics? or any other reason?

Solid example of arabs getting scared

At the start of the revolution they wanted to destroy the city our father built. Now they're taking orchestras there to play nationalist music so they can televize it on national TV.

hahaha - an example of what happens when you put pressure on these animals

I can only hope for Iran, The Religious Goverment is well rooted in the ground and cant be overthrowed that easely, You would need a revolution/Civil War which would be much bigger and intense then the one in Syria which is already in complete chaos.\

However, Younger generations is a hope for Iran, I think Iranians after a couple generations would be more open minded so they can demand more freedom.

Well I can only speak for myself, but I would like separation of religion from politics and greater social freedoms.

bro, I mean no offense, but you clearly have very little understanding of Iran. You should wiki Iran first. Start from there and in 5 mins you'll get all the answers.

So far religious folks of Iran have a religious government. If people are not secular, how do you want to make a secular government?
It will be like Egypt. A secular government overthrown by religious folks.

I am very sorry. I know a lot about Iran. Its just a typing error. I never know that i had put a question mark until u showed me. And i do know Iran is a democracy. Thats why i had asked why these protest are for?

Well many things came into play with Egypt. Mubarak was corrupt, swindled his people's money and was a puppet of America. I think these played a more important factor in his overthrowing then being secular.

Maybe after a big civil war it would be possible. Otherwise no.

if what Abii says is true the youth are secular then it is just a matter of time dont forget this youth will be future soldiers doctors teachers maybe it wont be a big civil war maybe not
i am not iranian and i think this should be left to iranians to decide but i think secular iran would be better

Or the ROC overthrown by CCP in 1949? Iranians unlike, Egyptians, had experienced religious extremism and are now more politically educated.
