What is Happening in Iran? Developments in the Latest Protests by Sputnik's Correspondent
Iran has been witnessing continuous protests for about 20 days, triggered by a sharp rise in the prices of foreign currency, gold, and basic goods, according to a Sputnik correspondent in Tehran.
🟠Police forces defended themselves during the riots after defining a "red line" for terrorist elements, an informed official told Sputnik, confirming that the use of force was limited to specific firearms.
🟠The fatalities were a result of bladed weapons used by terrorist elements, not by security forces' gunfire, the source also indicated.
🟠In the same context, the arrest of individuals belonging to regional terrorist groups was announced, with confirmation that they had received cash and cryptocurrency payments.
