Three members of Iranian security forces stabbed to death by 'rioters' near Tehran – state news agencies
An Iranian man checks a scorched fuel station that was set ablaze by protesters during a demonstration against a rise in petrol prices in Eslamshahr, near the Iranian capital of Tehran, on November 17, 2019.
The assailants wielding knives and machetes ambushed the three – a Revolutionary Guard and two members of the Basij militia – west of the capital, the news agencies reported. Pictures broadcast showed wrecked gas pumps, damaged vehicles, and smashed bank windows and ATM machines. State media and authorities have released little information and a government spokesman predicted during a news conference that the unrest would be over in two days.
