The situation in Iran is "under total control" after violence linked to protests spiked over the weekend, the country's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Monday via English translation.
Araqchi added that U.S. President Donald Trump's warning against Tehran of action should protests turn bloody motivated "terrorists" to target protesters and security forces in order to invite foreign intervention.
