Iranian authorities fired live ammunition to disperse protesters in Tehran on Sunday night, wounding several people, according to witness accounts provided to the Guardian and footage circulating on social media. One of the teargas canisters was fired near us. His face was wet and he was constantly coughing.”The crowd dispersed after security forces began “shooting bullets that were aimed at heads”, she said. The witness’s account could not be independently confirmed, but accorded with another witness’s report that security forces initially fired teargas to disperse the crowds and then started firing bullets. “Under such circumstances, he decided to make that bad decision: he engages, the missile is fired, and the plane is hit.”
