Security forces fired directly into crowds of protesters in at least six different cities across Iran, illustrating how widely violence has spread, according to a Washington Post review of videos that have surfaced online recently.
In one video, sustained gunfire rings out for about 20 seconds from a roof over a darkened street in Tehran toward protesters as they run away. When it breaks, protesters scream, “Death to Khamenei! Don’t be afraid!” referring to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The voices fade and the gunfire resumes.
