Iranians Keep Up the Heat on Leaders With Protests, Strikes.

TL;DR

The government has described the protests as a plot by Iran's enemies, including the United States, accusing armed dissidents — among others — of violence in which at least 20 members of the security forces have been reported killed.In Sanandaj, capital of the northwestern Kurdistan province, one man slumped dead in his car while a woman screamed "shameless," according to Hengaw, which said the man had been shot by security forces after he honked his horn as a sign of protest.Social media tells different storyBut videos on social media showed what appeared to be the largest protests in the past three weeks in many Tehran neighborhoods, including a crowd filling the streets in the lower-income southern neighborhood of Nazi Abad.The Norway-based Iran Human Rights said at least 185 people had been killed in the protests, with the highest number of killings in the restive Sistan-Baluchistan province in the southeast.As state TV showed footage of Ayatollah Khamenei on its main evening news, the broadcast was briefly interrupted, apparently hacked, with his image, surrounded by flames, next to pictures of Amini and three other women allegedly killed during the protests."
