Anti-government protesters and security forces clashed in the center of the Iranian capital today on the 30th anniversary of the seizing of the US Embassy by radical students, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Security forces fired tear gas at protesters on 7th of Tir Square and Hafez Street in Tehran’s downtown. On Vali Asr Square, armed security forces surrounded a crowd of demonstrators chanting “death to the dictator” and “Russia is the den of espionage”, playing on the official description of the former US Embassy compound as a “den of espionage”.

Security forces could be seen beating protesters and one witness said he saw soldiers collapsing from the effects of tear gas fired at demonstrators.
