Tehran

The country has been reeling from pressure reimposed by the Trump administration. Now it is scrambling to cope with the virus that has killed dozens of Iranians, including a senior official.

Videos appear to show security forces using live ammunition, which Iran's government has denied. The demonstrations erupted after Iran acknowledged that it accidentally shot down a passenger plane.

After many denials, Iran's admission that it accidentally downed a Ukrainian plane was cautiously embraced by world leaders as a "step forward." Back in Tehran, protesters' reaction was far angrier.

U.S. and Iranian officials on Friday offered dueling assertions of what caused the crash. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed it on an Iranian missile, while Iran said that was clearly not the case.

Canada's prime minister announced the preliminary finding a day after the Ukrainian plane crash that killed 176 people, including 63 Canadians. Iran denied the assertion, saying it is "impossible."

Demonstrators took to the streets in the capital this week, shutting down the capital city's sprawling Grand Bazaar and protesting outside the parliament.

As President Trump considers withdrawing from the Iran accord, Israel says files show Iran concealed its nuclear ambitions. But the U.K., France and Germany say they always knew that — hence the deal.

Four attackers struck Iran's parliament in Tehran during a morning legislative session. A second group of attackers struck the mausoleum of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, state TV reports.

The Plasco building, Iran's oldest high-rise, caught fire Thursday morning. As firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze, the 17-story structure crumbled on top of them.
