Iranians are still going out on mass demonstrations all over the country in support of the Islamic Republic and in protest of the riots that took place in several Iranian cities over the past few days, which saw rioters vandalizing public properties and attacking the police and civilians.

The demonstrators expressed their dissatisfaction with the riots, condemned the actions of the rioters, and called on law enforcement and the judiciary to take decisive measures against the vandals.

Tehran Public Prosecutor Ali Salehi said, "Security and stability are the priority of the judicial authorities, and whoever wants to undermine national security will be dealt with decisively."

The original riot-turned demonstrations took place in the aftermath of a young woman's death that the West rushed to capitalize on, claiming that the Iranian police murdered her.

Afterward, the Iranian police published CCTV footage documenting the last moments of a young Iranian girl, 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.

The demonstrations included many cities, namely: Tehran, Isfahan, Kashan, Shiraz, Mazandaran, Yasuj, Bandar Abbas, Qom, Qazvin, Gilan, and Bojnord, among other cities.

The demonstrators then issued a final statement denouncing riots, acts of sabotage, and vandalism that hurt the interests of the Iranian people.

"The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia had a hand in what happened in Iran. Most importantly, the Israelis had a hand in what happened," political affairs expert Ahmad Abdulrahman told Al Mayadeen. "The main reason behind the instability in Iran is its support of the resistance in Palestine."

"The mass protests that took place today in Tehran will mark the end of the riots that occurred in some cities," strategic affairs expert Masud Asadollahi told Al Mayadeen.

"Foreign media and social media platforms are waging a campaign to exaggerate what is happening in Iran, which is not true. It is all fabrications," he said. "Even the opposition's networking sites showed that there were not more than a few hundred people participating in the demonstrations."

"Iranian schools and universities opened their doors yesterday, and they were not affected by the riots," Asadollahi added.

Israeli media reported Saturday that "the authorities in Iran succeeded in damping down the wave of protests, as there is a very clear decline in their size and strength," noting that "the US efforts have not worked." 

Earlier that day, the Iranian Tasnim news agency reported that the protests in Iran went down by 90% all over the Islamic Republic by Friday night, attributing the decrease to pro-government protestors that took to the street in light of nationwide anti-government protests. 

Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi stated on Friday that some social networking sites took an active role in directing the riots and igniting the fires, adding that many elements of the riots were the result of training received using these sites.

Meanwhile, Washington and the West have been claiming that Tehran cut off internet access for civilians across the country. However, Iranian Minister of Information and Communications Technology Issa Zarepour denied on Friday that internet access had been down around the country since the day before, Tasnim news agency reported. 

The Iranian agency said it contacted the communications ministry after some Telegram channels, without giving sources, published messages about the Internet being cut off throughout the whole country since last evening, and received the answer that these messages did not correspond to reality. 

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 Aminis's death, 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.
