Today, Tehran's Prevention Police blamed a woman as the leader of riots in Eastern Tehran and indicated she has been arrested. Separately, appearing on Negah program on Iran's Channel One station, Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, shared official details and stats on the wave of protests and riots which was triggered by gasoline rationing and price increases and quickly spread across the country. A summary in English follows (Detailed news in Persian can be found HERE):

  • We previously tried to keep the launch time of rationing confidential but some reports leaked it which led to long lines in gasoline stations. Also, starting on Friday, with provocation by foreign media, we saw riot clusters of 5-6 protesters which always included at least a woman, roaming around cities and using molotov cocktails to set facilities on fire.. As damages spread we were forced to shut down Internet to curb this stage of riot although we were aware of the financial cost of shutting down the Internet.
  • Several town and cities in Tehran province such as Malard, Ghods, Shahriar, Islamshahr faced serious crises. Initially we estimated 130,000 - 200,000 rioters across the country, some of them seemed re-organizing and showing up again, so totally some 600,000- 700,000 individuals were part of the riots. Starting Saturday some of these people were armed.Riots were serious in 5 provinces and lasted for 3 nights,

  • Most of our infrastructure was targeted, Main highway from Tehran to Karaj and to Mashhad were shut down. On Jam Assalouyeh highway they opened fire with machine gun... They attacked a major gasoline depot in one city which could blow up half of the city.. in another town people attacked a regional rice and sugar depot which could impact local food supplies...

  • The number of security forces, police officers and undercover militia killed or injured during the riots is double the number of casualties among rioters... Some 731 banks were set on fire, 140 government offices, 70 gas stations, 9 religious foundations, 307 cars, 1076 motorcycles and 50 military and militia bases were attacked.. Iran's Central TV station was also a target of a group of 500

  • The trend of privatization and free market pricing of staples started 40 years ago but recent gasoline price hikes even during President Ahmadinejad created short term unrest.
  • We should all look ahead to the upcoming election campaigns which will start on Sunday.
