Iranian Army vows to protect public property

TEHRAN ( WNAM MONITORING): Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned on Saturday that safeguarding security was a “red line” and the military vowed to protect public property, as the clerical establishment stepped up efforts to quell the most widespread protests in years.

The statements came after US President Donald Trump issued a new ​warning to Iran’s leaders on Friday, and after Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday declared: “The United States supports the brave people of Iran.”

Unrest continued as state media said a municipal building was set on fire in Karaj, west of Tehran, and blamed “rioters.”
