The US State Department’s Persian‑language account on X said on Monday that it was the ninth consecutive day of protests in Iranian cities, sharing a video and praising demonstrators’ “courage and determination” in standing up for their rights despite “brutal repression and savage violence.”
“Despite brutal violence and ruthless suppression, Iranians continue to stand with courage and unwavering resolve to claim their rights. Their resilience in the face of fear is a powerful cry for justice and freedom against a regime that rules through repression,” the post said.
