Among those killed was one member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, while the other two were members of the Basij militia, which was also deployed to the city to ensure security in the wake of the protests.

Last week, the Iranian government announced an increase in gasoline prices, which sparked the mass protests.
The Iranian authorities said that they had arrested about 1,000 people for rioting and acts of vandalism over the past several days, and media reports indicate that the total number of protesters has exceeded 87,000.
