Reuters reports:

Police and militia have largely succeeded in taking back control of the streets this week after the biggest anti-government protests since the 1979 Islamic revolution. The hardline leadership is refusing to give ground.

“I had insisted and will insist on implementing the law on the election issue,” said Khamenei, the most powerful figure in Iran. “Neither the establishment nor the nation will yield to pressure at any cost.”
