Iranians staged a third day of protests over a dire economic situation driven by high inflation and the national currency trading at record lows. Students at several universities in Tehran joined the protests, which have now spread outside the capital. Videos shared on social media showed protesters clashing with riot police who used tear gas against the crowds.
