Fresh protests erupt in Tehran, additional cities across Iran, video footage shows
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNew videos posted online after nightfall purport to show fresh protests in a number of areas across Iran.
The new protests appear to be taking place in several neighborhoods in the capital Tehran, as well as other cities, including Rasht in the north, Tabriz in the northwest and Shiraz and Kerman in the south.
In one video verified by AFP, fireworks were set off over Tehran’s Punak Square as demonstrators banged pots and shouted slogans in support of the Pahlavi rulers ousted after the 1979 Islamic revolution.
A nationwide internet blackout has made it difficult to assess the full extent of the unrest.
