(Did Trump aid a possible t***sformation of power by the impetus of k*****g Iranian general and that country's response of downing plane? The unrest suggests yes.)
Iran's police denied shooting at protesters who demonstrated over the weekend after Iran admitted to shooting down a commercial plane and k*****g 176 people after days of denials.
Witnesses say they were faced with live ammunition and tear gas and saw people get shot as they took to the streets where multiple security forces were present, according to the UK's Guardian newspaper.
Demonstrations have spread to multiple cities even though Iran has previously k**led protesters. US President Donald Trump tweeted on Sunday, telling Iran: "DO NOT K**L YOUR PROTESTERS."
One witness told The Guardian: "They were firing tear gas repeatedly, we couldn't see anywhere and we were screaming. We were getting blinded. Forces were firing tear gas back to back. A young girl beside me was shot in the leg."
Iran's police denied shooting at protesters on Monday as fury over the country shooting down a commercial plane, k*****g dozens of its own citizens, brought people on the streets over the weekend.
Protests and vigils began in Iran on Saturday and continued on Sunday, sparked by the government admitting that it shot down Ukrainian Flight 752 in error, k*****g all 176 people on board after days of denials.
Witnesses told the UK's Guardian newspaper that security forces used tear gas and live ammunition in the protests, which took aim at the country's leadership.
Videos circulated on social media appeared to show protesters chanting anti-government slogans, including "They are lying that our enemy is America, our enemy is right here" and "Death to the dictator!," referring to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who has been in power since 1989.
