At least five people have been killedover the previous days during protests in Iran over water and power shortages.

Online videos showed protesters marching down major streets in Iranꞌs capital, Tehran, on Monday.

Security in the country has been stepped up in recent months after rainfall fell by 50%, cutting hydroelectric power in addition to problems caused by US sanctions.

Protesters risk prosecution

Demonstrators marched down Jomhuri Islami Avenue, accompanied by motorbikes and cars honking their horns to the chants.

The demonstrations were peaceful, but some in the crowd shouted "Death to the Dictator!", a crime that can lead to arrest and prosecution.

The semi-official Iranian news agency Fars said it was a "limited gathering" of "about 50 people," however unverified images on social media showed many more.

The ultraconservative news outlet said they had marched to "protest problems caused by power cuts" that affected nearby Alladin Mall and an area known for its electronics shops.
