Eyewitness accounts and emerging footage from the scene show crowds scattering as armed officers confront demonstrators gathered in central parts of the city.
The protest is understood to be part of a broader wave of anti-government demonstrations, with residents calling for reforms and expressing anger over economic conditions and political restrictions. Reports indicate that security units moved rapidly to disperse the gatherings, with shots fired during clashes between protesters and state forces.
Details regarding casualties or arrests remain unclear at this time, and Iranian authorities have not yet issued an official statement on the incident.
