Worst domestic violence in Iran, since the Green Revolution in 2009. Some number of security forces have been killed, and a hundred banks burned.

The supreme leader designated it a security situation, rather than social unrest, unleashing a widespread use of lethal force.

Riots started on Friday, when 50% price hikes on gas were enacted. Both the supreme leader and Rouhani announced on Wednesday that they had restored calm, but Internet was still out, and some number of events continue.

The Government claims that they arrested dual-national provocateurs (German, Afghan, etc.) trained by foreign governments, and equipped with sabotage devices.

(Good time for the Saudis to take revenge for Iranian attacks on their oil infrastructure.)

Both Lebanon and Iraq, where the Iranian regime operates their main foreign surrogate militias, are undergoing major protests against Iranian interference.

Thanks for info.

Perspective on this is hard to deal with when there is little outside communication.

There are always some that continues, but Iran is not easy even in good situations.
