1. Death to the dictator: Videos show intensified Iran protests overnight

Iranian protests across several cities continued throughout Friday night.

Demonstrators expressed their rejection of corruption and repression, calling for “dictator” Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to stand down.

Economic protests began Thursday, sparked by social media posts and a surge in prices of basic food supplies, like eggs and poultry.

Thousands went into the streets in several cities in Iran, beginning first in Mashhad, the country's second-largest city and a holy site for Shiite pilgrims. Demonstrators also have criticized Iran's government during the protests. There have been arrests reported in some areas.

The rallies quickly spread to the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Ahwaz and Rasht. Protesters called for Khamenei to exit power, chanting slogans such as “death to the dictator” and “our rights under the cloak of the mullahs. "
