Police fire tear gas and fight protesters with batons in a central Iranian city that has seen days of demonstrations demanding government action over a drought, online videos show.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Police fired tear gas and fought protesters with batons on Friday in a central Iranian city that has seen days of demonstrations demanding government action over a drought, online videos show.

Some videos show demonstrators at one point throwing stones at police, while others show bloodied protesters. They also show similar unrest in nearby streets of Isfahan, 340 kilometers south of the capital, Tehran. People in Isfahan later Friday reported mobile internet service being disrupted in the city, without explanation. Iran in the past has shut down both mobile and landline internet to halt protests.

Drought has been a problem in Iran for some 30 years, but it has worsened over the past decade, according to the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization. The Iran Meteorological Organization says that an estimated 97% of the country now faces some level of drought.
