Default Iran : petrol price hike ,Supreme Leader condemns 'hooligan' protesters




[Iran's Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said
he supports a fuel price rise that
has sparked protests across the country.
The Ayatollah blamed "hooligans"
and counter-revolutionaries
for violence that has been
witnessed in several cities.
At least one person is confirmed dead
in clashes with police but reports
suggest the number could be higher.
Officials have warned of a tougher
response if "illegal" actions continue.
Protests erupted on Friday after the
government unexpectedly announced
it was rationing petrol and
removing subsidies - sending prices up by 50%.

The measures are the latest sign
of pressure on the Iranian economy
after the re-imposition of US sanctions.
The government says the changes
will free up money to help the poor.]
