17 November 201921.07 "The demonstrations are a right of the people, but the disorders must stop. We will not allow to put at risk the stability of the State". The Iranian president, Rohani, said this for the first time since the beginning of protests in Iran over the high price of petrol. Rohani explained that the peak in fuel costs was caused by the fact that they do not want to raise taxes and it is not possible to export more oil because of American sanctions. There are over 1000 arrests in demonstrations.
