Iran may enrich uranium to 90% level soon, consider launching terror attack at Qatar World Cup, says IDF intelligence chief

Protesters across Iran continued to clash with security forces following the death of Maha Aminin after her arrest by the morality police.

State-organised demonstrations also took place in several Iranian cities to counter anti-government protests.

Women were seen coming out on the streets to burn their hijab (headscarf), with many posting videos of them cutting their hair.

Mahsa Amini died on 16th September after she had been arrested by the morality police.

News reports claimed that the 22-year-old allegedly died of a heart attack.

The official death toll from the clashes remains at least 17, but many news agencies suspect the number to be much higher.

In lieu of the protest, Iran also disrupted internet access to the outside world because it was being used to organise rallies.

Access to social media services, like Instagram and WhatsApp has been blocked since Wednesday night.

The unrest comes at a particularly sensitive time for the leadership, as the Iranian economy remains mired in a crisis.
