A wave of fresh protests erupted in Iran on Friday as the regime cut off internet access to multiple cities across the country, Iranian media and rights groups reported. The protests were reportedly sparked by the funerals of Iranian children killed by security forces, and they appeared to be gaining in intensity as Iran's hardline Islamic rulers face their most significant challenge in decades.

Hundreds of people attended the funeral of 9-year-old Kian Pirfalak in the city of Izeh. Video posted online shows Pirfalak's mother telling people at the ceremony that her son was shot by security forces on Wednesday. Iranian officials say Pirfalak was killed in a "terrorist" attack.

"Hear it from me myself on how the shooting happened, so they can't say it was by terrorists, because they're lying," Pirfalak's mother says in the video, according to the AFP news agency. She said security forces shot at her family's car. "Plainclothes forces shot my child. That is it."
