According to the National Council of Resistance of Iran:
Iranian youth members of the uprising in various cities fought off Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) attacks and torched government centers of suppression and plunder such as Bassij bases and state-owned banks and vehicles of security forces.
A traffic police center in Karaj and all its vehicles and 15 banks were set ablaze. Drivers stopped their cars to halt traffic on all roads. They could be heard chanting, “Pressure has broken us, we will break this pressure,” “Iranians enough, show spine,” “Rouhani have shame, let go of our pockets.” The protesters also set the Taleghani petrol station on fire.
People in Tehran closed down the shopping mall of Amin Hozour and its stores in solidarity with the protesters. The Ghaem petrol station in Robat Karim in south of Tehran was also set ablaze. Another government owned bank in Tehran Pars neighborhood, on Parvin Square, was set on fire.
In Qods Township in Tehran, the local authority, and several banks and government offices were set on fire. Security forces are on high alert and stressed.
