Description

Protesters in Iran defied a government crackdown on Saturday night, taking to the streets despite reports suggesting hundreds of people have been killed or wounded by security forces in the past three days. Iran's attorney general said anyone protesting would be considered an "enemy of God" - an offence that carries the death penalty. US President Donald Trump has threatened to hit Iran "very hard" if they "start killing people". Iran's parliament speaker warned that if the US attacks Iran, Israel and all US military and shipping bases in the region would be legitimate targets.
