The Iranian regime's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has warned of a harsh crackdown on protesters amid ongoing anti-government demonstrations.
According to Reuters, the warning came as security forces clashed with protesters in several cities, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. The protests were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died in police custody after being arrested for allegedly violating Iran's hijab rules. A report stated that the protests have spread to at least 50 cities, with many calling for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic's government.
