Human rights groups are reporting that more than 100 people have been killed in Iran during a new wave of nationwide protests. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are calling the government's violent response a "massacre."
The protests, driven by economic hardship and social unrest, continue to challenge Iranian authorities.
In a planned move, new President Masoud Pezeshkian will speak about these issues in a television interview on Sunday. State media says he will address the country's economic situation and the "demands of the people."
The broadcast is seen as a direct response to the ongoing public anger.
