In Iran, thousands of government supporters staged rallies for a fourth day today, in a backlash against widespread protests that the clerical establishment has blamed on the country's enemies. <br/><br/>Today's show of support came a day after Iran's foreign minister's statement that the United Nations's Security Council meeting called by the United States to discuss the protests had proved a blunder by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. <br/><br/>State television showed rallies in cities including Amol, Semnan and Shadegan waving Iranian flags and chanting "Death to America", "Death to Israel" and "Death to Britain". <br/><br/>According to Iranian officials, more than a week of unrest has seen 22 people die and more than 1,000 arrested, in the biggest anti-government protests for nearly a decade.<br/><br/>A United Nations Security Council meeting yesterday to discuss the protests turned into criticism of the United States as some member states said that the matter was an internal issue of Iran.'
