In Iran, students from several universities held anti-government protests on the first day of the new academic semester, according to the Financial Times.

According to the newspaper, the protests took place in Tehran. Students gathered on campus and chanted slogans against the authorities and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

It is reported that there have been clashes with groups of government supporters at some venues.
