, despite days of denials that Iranian forces were to blame. “They are lying that our enemy is America, our enemy is right here,” one group of protesters chanted outside a university in Tehran, according to video posted on Twitter.

Residents of the capital told Reuters that police were out in force on Sunday. Some protesters in Azadi Square first called on officers there to join them, then turned their anger on the authorities, chanting anti-government slogans including “Down with the dictator,” a reference to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to social media posts and Iranian media reports.

The latest unrest adds to mounting pressure on the Iranian authorities, who are struggling to keep the crippled economy afloat under stringent US sanctions. Later on Sunday, Trump said on Twitter he did not care if Iran agrees to negotiate with the US, after a senior adviser suggested the Islamic Republic would have no choice but to agree to talks.About 2 000 people packed a vigil for the air-crash victims in Toronto on Sunday, and a similar number attended a memorial in Edmonton, Alberta, where Canadian Prime Ministerspoke. His voice breaking, Trudeau told the vigil he would “pursue justice and accountability” for the victims.
