The sound of apparent gunshots and explosions echoed through the streets of a western Iranian city, one of the hot spots of protests over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.

The Associated PressSupporters of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, known as PKK, hold a portrait of Iranian Mahsa Amini, with one of the placards in Arabic reading, 'Women are life, don't kill the life,' during a protest in Beirut on Sunday.The demonstrations at Asaluyeh mark the first time the unrest surrounding the death of Mahsa Amini threatened the coffers of Iran's long-sanctioned theocratic government — its oil and gas industry.

In one video, the gathered workers — some with their faces covered — chant "shameless" and "death to the dictator." The chants have been featured across protests dealing with Amini's death. Iran did not acknowledge any disruption at the facility, though the semiofficial Tasnim news agency described the incident as a salary dispute. Iran is one of the world's top natural gas suppliers, just after the U.S. and Russia.

Hengaw posted footage it described as smoke rising in one neighbourhood in Sanandaj, with what sounded like rapid rifle fire echoing through the night sky. The shouts of people could be heard.There was no immediate word if people had been hurt in the violence. Hengaw later posted a video online of what appeared to be collected shell casings from rifles and shotguns, as well as spent tear gas canisters.

A general strike is far more effective than protests. Money talks.

Forced face or head coverings should be deemed crimes against humanity. And condemned worldwide. The problem is what happened with mask mandates. So… it’s going to be interesting how this plays out.

For the last several weeks, protests have been raging in Iran over the death of MahsaAmini. Everyone is out on the streets and Iran’s regime is using army grade weapons and several hundred people have died from direct gunshot. Thank you for being our voice مهسا_امینی

Starting to sound as dangerous as Chicago
