"Calm appeared to return to the streets of Iran's capital, Tehran, after weeks of protests - as Donald Trump appeared to dial down the rhetoric on Wednesday night. Footage filmed on Thursday shows normal traffic flow, as well as new banners and murals - and destroyed emergency vehicles following the riots. In central Iran's Valiasr street, a giant banner was displayed showing clenched fists holding the the Iranian flag, some of them wrapped with bandages, reading: 'The wind comes and goes, but the flag remains' A burnt-out fire engine was also seen displayed on the streets, with a sign next to it reading: 'An operational fire engine in Tehran being attacked by rioters on Thursday, January 8' In Palestine Square, a banner was installed depicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu handing a Molotov cocktail to a rioter, with text beside it reading: 'The director: the greatest terrorist crime in Iran'. According to he authorities, more than 100 security personnel lost their lives during the protests. Iran has accused Israel and the United States of involvement in the riots that accompanied the protests. On Wednesday, Donald Trump said he would 'watch and see' when asked if military action against Iran was 'off the table'. He appeared to step back from the brink - after media reports suggested strikes might be imminent - and said "we've been told that the killing in Iran is stopping" and "there's no plan for executions". On Tuesday, Trump reiterated to Iranian protesters that 'help is on the way' - and told them to 'keep protesting'. He did not expand on what he meant by 'help' although the White House has said airstrikes are among the 'many' options. Economic protests have been ongoing in Iran since December, and intensified in recent days and weeks, with Iran accusing Trump of inflaming tensions - after he warned the authorities he could intervene in the event of a potential crackdown. Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei claimed some rioters were destroying property to 'please' the US president."
