Pro-government rallies in Iran ahead of United Nations meeting
Large shows of public support for the government in Tehran have continued, while the anti-government protests seemed to have wanned.
Rallies in support of Iran’s government have reached a third day.
One of the largest was in the capital, Tehran, where people chanted anti-US slogans, blaming Washington for the unrest.
The protest movement, which never reached the size or momentum of the 2009 demonstrations, appears to have fizzled out – sidelined by the rallies of government supporters.
