Iran's Supreme leader calls for punishment of those who disrupt economic security
Iran's Supreme leader called on the judiciary to punish those "who disrupt economic security" on Wednesday, following protests earlier this week over the rial's collapse and the prospect of more hardships to come thanks to US measures against Tehran.
Business at Tehran's Grand Bazaar was back to normal on Wednesday after a two-day strike had closed most shops. On Monday traders massed outside parliament to complain about the plunge to record lows of Iran's currency.
Reuters was unable to verify footage showing riot police clashing with protesters. Public protests are rare in Iran but in recent months there have been several over the state of the economy.
