Iran protests: Army vows to safeguard country's interests as demonstrations persist
The Iranian army has vowed to safeguard national interests as protests over the country's ailing economy continue. It also called on citizens to be vigilant against what it called "enemy plots". The army issued the statement following the call made by the US-based son of Iran's ousted shah to stage more protests and seize and hold city centres. The demonstrations which have swept through the capital Tehran are near the two-week mark, prompting a near-total Internet and communications blackout.
