Iranian protesters have taken to the streets following a call by the exiled crown prince for demonstrations. Despite Iran's theocracy cutting off internet and international calls, short online videos show protesters chanting against the government around bonfires in Tehran and other areas. Iranian state media later blamed "terrorist agents" of the U.S. and Israel for the violence. The protests, which began over Iran’s ailing economy, have become a significant challenge to the government. Violence has killed at least 42 people, and more than 2,270 have been detained, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency.
