“People did not join the saboteurs.”

[Iranian President Hassan Rouhani claims that those who took to streets and caused damages were just a few. Following the rise in the fuel price, angry protesters took to streets and caused many damages to the public properties. At least more than 100 people were killed.]

Hassan Rouhani: In no cities or crowds did people join the rioters, conspirers, or saboteurs. They were just a few and remained a few. They created some damages. However, our people treated them with vigilance. I have seen much footage from these cases.

Moreover, I saw that those who caused the damages were only a few. Moreover, this means that our people are watchful and vigilant. Moreover, I thank the people for that.
