Tehran, January 17 /Xinhua/ — A total of 3,000 "terrorists" involved in the recent "unrest" in Iran have been detained, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Friday, citing Iranian security forces.
Those detained include key leaders of the "riots," individuals associated with Israel, armed individuals, "rioters" who damaged state property, and individuals involved in the murders of Iranians, Tasnim reports. It adds that Iran has been calm in recent days, despite attempts to "renew the unrest."
Since late December, protests have erupted in several Iranian cities due to the sharp decline in the rial. Authorities have acknowledged the demonstrations and expressed their commitment to addressing economic problems, but have also warned against violence, vandalism, and unrest.
Initially peaceful protests gradually turned violent, resulting in casualties and damage to public property, mosques, government buildings, and banks, particularly on January 8 and 9. Iranian authorities blamed the United States and Israel.
