An Iranian news agency says several people have been killed during escalating clashes between protesters and security forces in the west of the country. This comes a day after a volunteer member of the Revolutionary Guard was reported killed.

Social media footage shows some of the latest demonstrations, which have now entered a fifth day. What began as protests over runaway inflation, has quickly turned into a larger show of anger against the country's authoritarian regime.
