Students at several universities in Iran have staged anti-government protests – the first such rallies on this scale since January’s deadly crackdown by the authorities.
The BBC has verified footage of demonstrators marching on the campus of the Sharif University of Technology in the capital Tehran on Saturday. They were later seen scuffling with government supporters.
Protests were also reported at other universities in Tehran and elsewhere – with students gathering to honour thousands of those killed by authorities last month.
It comes as the US builds up its military presence near Iran, with President Donald Trump saying he is considering a limited military strike.
