Iran Press/Iran news: People in Shiraz, Kerman, Qom, Yasuj, Mashhad, Semnan, and other cities poured to the streets on Thursday to stress support the government and voice their opposition and condemnation of the recent riots.
They shouted slogans against the United States and Israel and expressed resentment at those defying the country’s Islamic establishment, Iran Press reported.
