NCRI – At the second square of Tehran Pars in Tehran, protestors stormed one of the headquarters of the Iranian regime’s suppressive forces, which led to clashes with the regime’s agents. One of the agents was thrown off from the building. He suffered serious injuries and was transferred to the hospital.

At Toupkhane Square, close to 500 workers and people chanted “death to Khamenei,” the mullahs’ Supreme Leader, and engaged in intense clashes with agents of the paramilitary Bassij Force and the State Security Forces (SSF). About 36 people were wounded. A number of Bassij and SSF agents were also beaten by protestors during the clashes.

Suppressive forces cracked down on a large number of people who had poured into the streets at Baharestan Square, Ferdowsi Square, Enqelab Street, Vali Asr Street and Jordan Street to express solidarity with workers.
