Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards warn protesters of 'decisive' action if unrest continues
DUBAI - Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards warned anti-government protesters of “decisive” action if unrest over gasoline price hikes do not cease, state media said, in a hint that a harsh security crackdown could be on the cards.
The scale of the unrest triggered by announcements of fuel rationing and price rises of at least 50 percent remains unclear as authorities have curbed Internet access to stop the use of social media to organise rallies and disseminate videos. But many ordinary Iranians angry and in despair over reimposed U.S. sanctions that have helped undermine the government’s promises of more jobs and investment, and authorities are anxious to end the unrest.
Some Iranians managed to post social media videos that showed police firing tear gas to disperse protesters. The images could not be verified by Reuters. Authorities said one policeman and a civilian had been killed and 1,000 “rioters” arrested.
