Maximum tension in Iran.

In the grip of large-scale demonstrations since the death of Mahsa Amini on September 16, the capital Tehran has been the scene of violent clashes between students and security forces in the Sharif University of Technology, the most prestigious in the country.

Violent incidents occurred overnight from Sunday to Monday, with riot police firing steel balls and tear gas at protesting students, according to Iran's Mehr news agency.

"Woman, life, freedom", "students prefer death to humiliation", they chanted according to Mehr, adding that the Iranian Minister of Science then came to speak to the students in order to calm the situation.

Incidents also occurred at the University of Isfahan.

In a video shot according to the IHR in a Tehran metro station, a crowd chants: “Do not be afraid!

Do not be afraid !

We are all together!

The New York-based Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) said it was "extremely concerned about videos coming out of Sharif University and Tehran today showing a violent crackdown on protests". .

At least 92 people have been killed in Iran by the crackdown since the protests began according to the IHR.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Monday accused the United States and Israel and their "agents" of fomenting the protests.

The Iranian president, the ultraconservative Ebrahim Raisi, also accused Sunday the "enemies" of Iran of "conspiring" against his country.
