Iran Protestors Clash With Pro-Government Hardliners

Iran was rocked by protests this week, which pit demonstrators angry with the country's economic downturn against pro-government hardliners. The demonstrations began Thursday, when protesters took to the streets to criticize Iran's government and the skyrocketing prices of basic necessities. The protests are the largest in middle eastern country since the 2009 Green Movement. Two demonstrators died overnight, and Iran is now blocking social media apps like Instagram.
