Overview
- Human-rights monitor HRANA reports at least 538 deaths, including roughly 490 protesters and 48 security personnel, with more than 10,600 people detained in two weeks.
- Authorities have imposed near-total internet and telecom blackouts, with NetBlocks data and sparse satellite-linked posts offering limited windows into ongoing demonstrations.
- Fresh protests were seen in Tehran’s Punak district and in cities including Mashhad and Kerman, according to videos that outlets say they geolocated despite the blackout.
- Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf warned that U.S. forces and Israel would be considered legitimate targets if Washington uses force.
- President Donald Trump voiced support for the protesters and, according to Clarín, said Iranian leaders called to seek a meeting as his administration weighs options with no action announced.
