Iran's Rouhani claims government victory over unrest he blames on foreigners -state media

Iranian President Rouhani on Wednesday claimed government victory over unrest he blamed on Iran's foreign enemies, according to state media, after protests since a hike in gasoline prices last week that has shaken the country.

"The Iranian people have again succeeded at a historic test and shown that they will not let enemies benefit from the situation, even though they might have complaints about the country's management," Rouhani said in remarks carried by the state broadcaster IRIB on its website.
