The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) revealed that the death toll includes 12 children and nine non-protesting civilians. The situation has escalated to a critical point, with government officials considering executing demonstrators as a means of quelling dissent.
President Trump has weighed in on the situation, stating that he was informed by sources that executions in Iran would cease. Despite this assurance, Trump emphasized that the U.S. would take strong action if Iran proceeded with hanging protesters.
To combat the government-imposed internet blackout aimed at stifling information about the protests, SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, has made its Starlink satellite internet service free for users in Iran. This move allows Iranians to access the internet and communicate with the outside world amid the turmoil.
The protests in Iran have sparked global concern, with calls for accountability and respect for human rights. The international community is closely monitoring the situation as the death toll continues to rise, and tensions escalate between the Iranian government and protesters.
In the face of this crisis, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize dialogue, de-escalation, and respect for human life. The world is watching, and the actions taken in response to the protests will have far-reaching implications for Iran and the broader region.
