Report: Students harshly criticise Iran to supreme leader

Iranian media are saying that university students invited to meet Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan harshly criticised the country's direction.

The annual gathering of students typically sees some complaints but at least one speech last night frankly discussed economic troubles Iran faces after President Donald Trump's decision to pull out of the nuclear deal.

The pro-reform Mardomsalari daily quoted student Sahar Mehrabi as saying that "today, Iran is facing numerous crises."
