Iran’s authorities signaled on Saturday that they may intensify their crackdown on the largest anti-government protests in years, with the Revolutionary Guards blaming the unrest on “terrorists” and pledging to protect the ruling system. Reports of fresh violence emerged nationwide, though an internet blackout made the full scale of unrest difficult to verify.

Opposition figures abroad urged protesters to escalate demonstrations into a nationwide revolt, while state media reported attacks on public buildings and funerals for security personnel killed in clashes across several cities, underscoring the growing intensity of the confrontation.
