The Iranian regime has warned protesters will 'pay the price' after demonstrators burned flags, attacked government buildings and set fire to pictures of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a third night of unrest.
Officials promised to use an 'iron fist' to crush dissent, raising fears of widespread bloodshed after two activists were shot dead in the city of Dorud overnight.
The government has confirmed the deaths, but said the men were killed by 'foreign agents' and not the security forces.
Video posted on social media showed two young men lying on the ground and covered with blood as a voice over said they had been shot dead by police.
