The anti-government protests across Iran continued on Friday as unrest sweeps the country.
Protests started nearly two weeks ago and according to the Norway-based Iran Human Rights NGO (IHRNGO) have resulted in the deaths of at least 45 protesters including children. Hundreds more have been injured and over 2,000 people detained.
US President Donald Trump has already threatened to intervene in Iran if more protesters were killed, but on Friday Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Trump should “focus on the problems of his own country.”
