for more on what's behind the anti—government protests in tehran, here's kasra naji from the bbc‘s persians surprising the level of anger, i didn't expect it, but obviously it's there and it's very strong. the demonstrations that we are witnessing today, the reports we are getting from various cities across the country, more than a dozen or so cities are witnessing demonstrations, anti—government demonstrations. they are mostly university students, but in tehran and some other cities there are other people involved in it. it's more middle—class than it was a month and a half ago, two months ago in november because maybe the reason is that many of those people killed in that aeroplane were students, university students who were studying in canada and they were returning to their studies there. the slogans they are shouting on the streets of cities in iran are pretty strong. that is surprising as well. they are calling the iranian supreme leader a murderer, they want him to step down and they are shouting slogans against iran's revolutionary guards. they are calling them murderers. so things
