Videos received by Radio Farda show that protests in various Iranian cities have finally reached Tehran, where protesters marched and shouted slogan against the Islamic Republic.

Videos show hundreds of protesters marching clenched fists in the center of the city and chanting against the clergy and shouting "Death to Kahmenei". In recent months, protests in Iran have turned directly and vocally against the whole regime, particularly the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.

In new protests, which erupted this week, Tehran was relatively quiet as Isfahan, Gohar Dasht and Shiraz witnessed unrest. Early Thursday evening protests spread to Tehran.

Earlier there were reports of a protest gathering in one district of Tehran on Thursday morning, but the evening marches were in the more prominent part of the city.
