The supreme leader railed against the US president, Donald Trump, whom he called a "criminal" for his support of demonstrations, and called for strict punishment of protesters.

Khamenei said: "By God's grace, the Iranian nation must break the back of the seditionists just as it broke the back of the sedition."

Iranian authorities also released a compilation of footage on Saturday that purported to show armed individuals carrying guns and knives alongside regular protesters " evidence, they said, of foreign saboteurs.

Another senior Iranian cleric demanded the execution of protesters, demanding that "armed hypocrites should be put to death".
