Iranian police clashed with protesters on the 10th day of unrest in Tehran, as the death toll rose to at least 36, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. Strikes continued in Tehran’s main market, the Grand Bazaar, where videos showed chaotic scenes. Security forces fired tear gas into groups of demonstrators as shopkeepers shut their stores and staged a sit-in. The anger also spilt on to the streets in hundreds of cities across Iran on Tuesday, where protests were met live rounds and tear gas, according to activists.
