The restrictions on the assembly of people were imposed in the morning as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order in view of the likelihood of protests, the officials said.

The protesters shouted slogans against the U.S. and Israel aggression in Iran, and in support of Palestine, they said.

However, the officials added that the protests remained peaceful so far.
