There are fears of a violent crackdown in Iran, with anti-government protests now erupting in most parts of the country.
Clashes with police have been reported in nearly all of Iran’s 31 provinces.
Officials say at least 41 people have been killed during the week-long demonstrations.
The protests broke out after the death of Mahsa Amini who was detained for wearing a head scarf too loosely.
Demonstrations are being staged in solidarity around the world, including in Australia.
There are now fears the violence could escalate, with Iran’s President vowing to “deal decisively” with the spreading protests.
