The 10-month-old cub, which had clung to life, had become a symbol of hope for protesters.
Iranians are mourning the death of an Asiatic cheetah cub - one of the last in the world - which became a symbol of hope for anti-government protesters.It died from kidney failure in a clinic in Tehran last month, sparking an outpouring of tributes online.
From the very beginning, millions of Iranians began following Pirouz's journey online and in the media. Cheetahs are a symbol of national pride in Iran. They appear in Persian poetry and paintings, and even on the national football team's jersey to symbolise speed and power.In 2022, the cubs' mother, called Iran, was transferred to Touran, a wildlife refuge centre in the north-west of the country, where she was matched with a male called Firouz.
