New wave of protests in Iran

The day before, thousands of Iranians went to the cemetery in Karaj to commemorate the 40th day of mourning for Hadis Najafi, who died during a protest near Tehran. The police blocked the entrance to the cemetery, which led to a new wave of violent clashes with protesters.

In response, the demonstrators blocked the highway in Karaj, set fire to parked cars and shouted anti-government slogans, including the overthrow of Khamenei.

Let us remind you that last week, Iranian police opened fire on a large crowd of protesters who had gathered in honor of the 40th day of mourning for Mahsa Amini, whose death triggered mass protests in Iran.
