Iran's Bank Melli branch burnt amid angry protests
Iranian protests against fuel price hikes escalated
for the second day, on Saturday. A brach of Bank Melli of Iran was burnt.
This coincided with demands to oust the supreme leader
and stop Tehran's interference in the affairs of Arab states, Sky News
reported.
In Behbahan, southwestern Iran, protesters set fire to
the bank branch, while demonstrators in the central city of Karaj demanded the
