Iran’s army vows to protect public property as Tehran seeks to quell growing unrest
DUBAI, Jan 10 (Reuters) - The Iranian army said on Saturday it would safeguard strategic infrastructure and public property and urged Iranians to thwart “the enemy’s plots”, as the clerical establishment steps up efforts to quell the country’s biggest protests in years. The Iranian military statement came after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a new warning to Iran’s leaders on Friday, and after Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday declared: “The United States supports the brave people of Iran.” Unrest continued overnight. State media said a municipal building was set on fire in Karaj, west of Tehran, and blamed “rioters”. State TV broadcast footage of funerals of members of the security forces it said were killed in protests in the cities of Shiraz, Qom and Hamedan. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
