Two killed in clashes with security forces in Lordegan, Iran

Unrest continues in Iran. Clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement resulted in the two fatalities, according to the Fars news agency.

The agency reported that protesters fired on police officers, injuring 30 people and damaging several buildings in the city center.

The protests, which began in late December, were triggered by a sharp decline in the value of the national currency. In some cases, radicalization of the protests has been observed, focusing on anti-government slogans. According to media reports, more than 30 people have been killed in the clashes.
