Demonstrators across the country expressed anger at the killing of a woman in Minneapolis by federal immigration agents.

Activist organizations are planning at least 1,000 protests and vigils this weekend. Officials in major cities cast Saturday's demonstrations as largely peaceful.

The protests, which started out with economic grievances, have now morphed into one of the biggest challenges the Islamic Republic has faced in its 47-year history.

For a third night in a row, nationwide antigovernment protests rocked Iran, according to witnesses and videos verified by The New York Times, posted on BBC Persian and social media, even as the government intensified its crackdown and the military said it would take to the streets in response to the unrest.

Iran protests turn more violent with 65 reportedly killed by Friday and over 2,300 arrested as authorities imposed an internet blackout amid nationwide anti-regime unrest.
