Iranians demonstrating in Tehran in support of the Islamic Republic
The protests in Iran went down by 90% all over the Islamic Republic by Friday night, Iranian Tasnim news agency reported, attributing the decrease to pro-government protestors that took to the street in light of nationwide anti-government protests.
"Calm prevails in most Iranian cities," the agency said, underlining that the "small, sporadic protests decreased to 10% compared to the previous days."

ISNA quoted the public prosecution in Kerman province as saying that the latest disruptions were dealt with legally, with their chief perpetrators arrested.
"Some of those deceived were guided as a first stage, and they will be legally dealt with later if they do not follow the instructions," the general prosecution added.

Several Iranian cities saw, for the second day in a row, mass demonstrations in support of the Islamic Republic, where protestors carried banners denouncing the United States, the Israeli occupation, and the rioters against the Islamic Revolution.
A few days ago, the Iranian police published CCTV footage documenting the last moments of Mahsa Amini at the police station. The Tehran police said the footage proved that the 22-year-old was not subjected to any violence or physical abuse.
Iranians rallied in support of the Islamic Republic, opposing chaos that has been spiraling under the pretense of solidarity with Mahsa Amini's family following her death.
In response to the death of the Iranian girl, Mahsa Amini, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi called her family on Thursday and confirmed that he had ordered a thorough investigation into the incident.
"Your daughter is like my own daughter, and I feel that this incident happened to one of my loved ones. Please accept my condolences," Raisi told Amini's family.
The Iranian Armed Forces offered, "condolences on the death of the late Mahsa Amini", but at the same time warned "anti-revolutionary organizations", stressing that they "will not allow for the violation of security in the country, and will firmly confront anyone who destabilizes."

The father of the young woman, Amjad Amini, said that her family "have not yet been informed of the results of forensic tests on the causes of their daughter's death".
Amini stressed that, "the rallies and demonstrations held in a number of Iranian provinces after Mahsa's death have nothing to do with her family," and, "were not for our sake," noting that he and the rest of Mahsa's family are, "dissatisfied with these matters," and that "the family's only desire is to deal with the ones directly responsible for their daughter's death and punish them."
