Meanwhile Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who at first said he was heartbroken by Amini's death has since turned to blaming the United States and Israel for sowing dissent in the Islamic Republic.
与此同时，起初表示对艾米妮的死亡感到心碎的伊朗最高领导人阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊，在这之后开始指责美国和以色列在伊斯兰共和国煽动异议。

But Iranians keep sending videos to VOA, showing widespread demonstrations with some burning banners of Iranian officials.
