The protest in Iran has continued for close to a week now, over continuous corruption by top Government officials, high unemployment rate, anti-people policies by the Government and
The worst economic downturn ever in the history of Iran due to incompetence on the part of the Government.

But Iran's supreme leader has accused the country's enemies of stirring days of protests that have claimed at least 22 lives.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was speaking for the first time since people protesting at Iran's economic troubles clashed with security forces last Thursday.

Nine people, including a child, died overnight in violence in central Iran, state media say.
The protests are the largest since the disputed 2009 presidential election.

"In recent days, enemies of Iran used different tools including cash, weapons, politics and intelligence services to create troubles for the Islamic Republic," Iran's supreme leader was quoted.

He said he would address the nation about the recent events "when the time was right".
The protests began last Thursday in the city of Mashhad, initially against price rises and corruption, but have since spread amid wider anti-government sentiment.

Some 450 people have been arrested in Tehran Province in recent days, the deputy governor-general of the province is quoted as saying.

In the 2009 protests, millions disputed the election victory. Those demonstrations were brutally suppressed, with at least 30 people killed and thousands arrested.
An unpredictable challenge for Iran

President Hassan Rouhani has criticised US President Donald Trump for repeatedly tweeting support for the protesters.

But overall Mr Rouhani's words have been more measured. He has called the protests an "opportunity, not a threat", recognised economic discontent and said people had a right to take the streets. However, he has also vowed to crack down on "lawbreakers".

The Iranian people are determined to bring change to their country.

Horror!!!!
