Iran's judiciary chief has vowed decisive punishment for protesters, signaling a coming crackdown against demonstrations.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei strikes a defiant tone against the U.S. after a night of massive anti-government protests.

Iranian protests sparked by a currency collapse evolved into a broader uprising demanding regime overthrow, with demonstrators torching government buildings across provinces.

After days of fierce protest, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused protesters of trying to “please” President Trump. Iranian authorities signaled further crackdowns on the demonstrations.

Iran's supreme leader signaled Friday that security forces would crack down on protesters after they screamed from windows and marched through the streets overnight, directly challenging U.S. President Donald Trump's pledge to support those peacefully demonstrating.

Iranian protesters shouted and marched through the streets into Friday morning after a call by the country's exiled crown prince for demonstrations, despite Iran's theocracy cutting off the nation from the internet and international telephone calls.

With Iran's anti-government unrest evolving rapidly and foreign pressure mounting, the clerical establishment appears unable, for now, to tackle what has become a crisis of legitimacy at the heart of the Islamic Republic.
