Via Daily Wire:
Protesters have taken to the streets in Tehran, Iran’s Grand Bazaar, shutting down shops in a massive rally designed to bring attention to the country’s failing economy.
Unlike previous protests which took place mostly among the economically under-privileged outside of Tehran, Monday’s protests occurred right at the city center and involved many of the city’s merchants who are decidedly middle-class Iranians fed up with the Mullahs.
Security forces attempted to control the mob with tear gas and Iranian officials denied the protests, but enterprising Iranians were able to upload videos of marchers crowding the Grand Bazaar and even demonstrating on the steps of parliament.
