Large protetss against rising prices and the plummeting value of the national currency have taken place in Iran.
Thousands of people took to the streets of the capital and marched towards parliament. Protesters also clashes with Police that used tear gas to disperse demonstrations.
According to estimates, it was the biggest protest in Tehran since 2012.
A dollar is currently worth as much as 90,000 rials,compared with 42,890 at the end of 2017.
The prices are growing and the national currency is dropping in Iran amid the increased tensions with the US and the expected collapse of the Iran nuclear deal. The administration of US President Donald Trump announced that Washington is leaving the deal in May. This decision triggered a new diplomatic crisis between the US and Iran.
