The state TV report said 10 were killed during clashes Sunday night, without elaborating. State TV aired images of burning buildings, as well as an ambulance crew trying to aid a wounded person amid a crowd of shouting people. Later Monday, state TV said six people were killed in the western town of Tuyserkan, 295 kilometres southwest of Tehran. It was not clear if they were included in the state TV toll. That was echoed Monday by Iranian judiciary chief Ayatollah Sadegh Larijani, who urged authorities to strongly confront rioters, state TV reported.
