'Regime teeters in Tehran' and 'Clearing the heir'A number of the papers have splashed on the ongoing demonstrations across Iran, which began two weeks ago in response to the nation's economic woes. "Regime teeters in Tehran" reads the headline of the Times, leading on remarks from US President Donald Trump, after he told Fox News that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was "looking to flee the country". The Guardian says that Iran is preparing for "violent clashes" as tensions continue to escalate, pairing its leading story with a photo of a protester gesticulating in front of a burning building in Tehran. Khamenei has warned that authorities will "not back down", which the paper says could set the stage for an "intensified violent crackdown" on the second day of a national internet shutdown."Tehran hardens crackdown on protesters 'working for Trump'" reads the weekend edition of the Financial Times.
