The country's armed forces also accused Israel and "terrorist groups" of protests.

According to the human rights organisation Human Rights Activists in Iran, at least 65 people were killed, more than 2,300 were detained, protests covered about 180 cities. Most of the dead are participants in the actions. There are confirmed reports of the use of military weapons against demonstrators.
