Pro-government rallies took place in Tehran after Friday prayers today, with authorities seeking to put the past week's unrest to bed. This comes after the U-S imposed new sanctions on Iran, and called for an emergency UN Security Council meeting. Iranian officials have announced 40 rallies across the province of Tehran, building on huge pro-government marches seen in many other cities over the previous two days. According to the country's interior minister, 42-thousand people took part in last week's protests, which left at least 21 people killed.
