Residents of Tehran are holding mass rallies against rioters to condemn foreign-organized riots in the country in which several members of the security forces have been killed, Mehr reported.

According to the source, the marchers expressed their outrage at the violent actions of the rioters, which have so far resulted in the killing of several security forces.

According to media reports, attendance at Friday prayers this week was significantly higher than in recent weeks, as Tehran residents filled various streets in the city center with pro-establishment demonstrators.

Similar protests took place in other cities across the country against the destructive and violent actions of Western-backed rioters.
