TEHRAN: Ten people were killed overnight in the worst violence yet seen in Iran?s protests, local media as President Hassan Rouhani played down the unrest and vowed those breaking the law would be dealt with.
Fresh protests broke out in Tehran as night fell on Monday, with images of burning cars on local media and online reports of heavy police presence.The conservative-linked Fars news agency showed a burning car, while social media reports said relatively small groups were chanting anti-regime slogans in downtown parts of the capital.
US President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly criticised Tehran over four days of demonstrations, said it was ?time for a change? and that the Iranian people were ?hungry? for freedom.
Rouhani hit back, saying the US leader ? whose ?whole being is against the nation of Iran ? had ?no right? to sympathize with protesters.Six people were killed in the western town of Tuyserkan after shots were fired, state television reported, while a local lawmaker said two people had been shot dead in the southwestern town of Izeh.
Two others, included a teenage boy, were run down and killed by a fire engine stolen by protesters in the western town of Dorud, the state broadcaster said, bringing the total death toll in the protests to 12. Rouhani tried to play down the unrest, saying: ?This is nothing.?
?Criticism and protest are an opportunity not a threat,? he said in a statement on the presidency website, adding that the Iranian people would ?respond to the rioters and lawbreakers?.?Our nation will deal with this minority who chant slogans against the law and people?s wishes, and insult the sanctities and values of the revolution.?Israeli minister encourages Iran protests, says Israel is not involved: Israel´s intelligence minister on Monday voiced encouragement for Iranian anti-government protesters but added that Israeli policy was not to get involved in Tehran´s internal affairs. ?I can only wish success to the Iranian people in the struggle for freedom and democracy,? Israeli Intelligence Minister Israel Katz said in an Army Radio interview.
