Strife In Iran Triggers Riots and Military Rule
Tehran reports say Iran’s first military government in 25 years sparked further rioting and fears of wider turmoil. One dead, two wounded as troops dispersed protesters against the shah’s 37 year rule and Gen. Azhari’s leadership. Mobs looted near Tehran University and Abadan amid oil region unrest. Exiled Ayatullah Khomaini warned in Paris of possible armed violence, while U.S. officials urged calm and advised Americans in Iran to stay indoors as strikes cripple oil output, cutting refinery production and tightening global supplies.
