Iran: IRGC commander Hossein Salami warns anti-hijab protesters not to take to streets

Tehran: The head of Iran's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) on Saturday issued a stern warning to protesters as more students took to the streets. Guards commander Hossein Salami warned protesters that Saturday would be their last day of taking to the streets, reported news agency Reuters.

"Do not come to the streets! Today is the last day of the riot," the Guard commander said as quoted by the news agency. Salami blamed the United States and Israel for the protests that erupted after the death of 22-year-old Kurdish girl Mahsa Amini in the custody of the Iranian morality police.

Salami further added that protesters should not sell their honor to America. "don't slap the security forces who are defending you in the face," reported Reuters quoting the Guards head as saying.

Earlier in the day, reports of fresh bloodshed and renewed protests erupted across Iran. As per the Human rights group Hengaw, security forces shot at a girls' school in the city of Saqez. Meanwhile, the human rights group, in another post, said that security forces opened fire on students at a medical university in Sanandaj. Notably, Sanandaj is the capital of Kurdistan province.
