Thousands of Iranians have marched in the city of Karaj to express their support for the government and the military, Al Jazeera reports, citing Press TV.

A video clip posted by a broadcaster showed people waving flags and shouting the slogan, “Courage, courage!”, as they marched through the city.

The rally came a day after widespread power outages were reported in Karaj and the province of Alborz following a strike that affected an electric substation, Al Jazeera noted.

Similar demonstrations were also staged in Tehran as well as in Ardabil last night, according to state media.
