Iranian state media has acknowledged widespread protests in Tehran, attributing the unrest to alleged foreign interference. The government claims that the demonstrations, which began after a call from the exiled crown prince, resulted in violence and property damage, including fires set to vehicles and public infrastructure. Official reports mention casualties but provide no further details. Authorities have restricted internet and international communications, making independent verification of events difficult.
