#Breaking: Tonight in #Tehran, the capital city of #Iran, the number of protesters is so high that security forces of the Islamic regime have retreated from many neighborhoods after being outnumbered and unable to suppress the crowds. These two videos were recorded in Chitgar, western #Tehran, and show a large number of protesters in the streets. According to protesters, #Basij paramilitary forces of the #IRGC arrived and attempted to confront them by throwing sound bombs, using tear gas, and firing birdshot from shotguns but failed. They fled to avoid getting eliminated by the protesters. #TehranProtests #IranProtests
