Supporters of Iran’s government held demonstrations in cities across the country Wednesday following days of anti-government protests. Iranian state television showed video of crowds waving Iranian flags and expressing support for Iran’s top leader. Later in the day, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the anti-government protests were at an end. At least 21 people have died in the unrest over the past week. Many of the anti-government protesters are angry about high unemployment and inflation. These conditions have continued even after the end of international sanctions in 2015. Those measures were designed to punish Iran for its nuclear activities.
