Iran declares 3 days of national mourning for security forces killed in protests

The Iranian government declares three days of national mourning for “martyrs,” including members of the security forces killed in two weeks of protests, state television says.

The government describes the fight against what it has termed “riots” as an “Iranian national resistance battle against America and the Zionist regime.”

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian urges people to take part in a “national resistance march” of nationwide rallies tomorrow to denounce the violence, which the government said was committed by “urban terrorist criminals,” state television reports.
