At least six people have so far been killed in the unrest, which erupted last week over increases in the price of gasoline.
Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard corps has warned protesters it will take"decisive" action to restore calm after mass protests erupted against a new fuel tax.
The IRGC released a statement Monday saying that such activities were unacceptable and that the elite branch would take all necessary steps to suppress the unrest. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Sunday that the demonstrations were being encouraged by the U.S., claiming"all evil centers in the world" were working to stir up unrest. Khamenei also described demonstrators as"thugs" and"hooligans."
