TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The latest on protests in Iran (all times local): 14:00 p.m. Iran’s Supreme Leader is saying the country’s enemies have meddled in recent protest rallies resorting to various means. A Tuesday report on the website of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei quoted him as saying “in recent days” enemies of Iran have utilized various means including money, weapons, politics and intelligence apparatuses “to create problems for the Islamic system.” Khamenei, who has final say on all state matters, did not name any country but said he would explain more in the near future. This is the first time Khamenei has commented publicly since protests over inflation and economic corruption began Thursday in Mashhad and spread to other cities.
