TEHRAN: Rejecting the US president’s allegations, Iranian police on Monday said that they had not opened fire on the protesters.
Earlier, Iranians held demonstrations across the country after Tehran had admitted to shooting down a Ukrainian plane.
To the leaders of Iran – DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS. Thousands have already been killed or imprisoned by you, and the World is watching. More importantly, the USA is watching. Turn your internet back on and let reporters roam free! Stop the killing of your great Iranian people!
