Iran protests: Seven killed as unrest sparked by ailing economy spreads across country | 10 Points

Iran is witnessing its largest-ever protest in years that have claimed at least seven lives and left several others injured. The protests have been sparked by Iran's ailing economy, which has been struggling over the years due to sanctions by the United States (US) and other western countries over Tehran's nuclear programme. According to a report, the inflation in Iran reached 42.5 per cent in December last year, forcing the people to take to the streets.
