Armed police flood Iran’s universities to crush student protests

Plainclothes police and security forces have attempted to flood Iran’s remaining open universities in an effort to suppress a fourth day of student protests against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The situation has resulted in running battles on some campuses, with videos showcasing fistfights between the Basji state-backed militia and students at the University of Science and Technology in Tehran. Additionally, pick-up trucks equipped with machine-guns were photographed parked outside the University of Tehran, while demonstrations also took place in Mashhad.
