Iran Unrest Deepens as Security Forces Gas Tehran Bazaar Protest, Activists Report 35 Dead

A limited cash‑credit offer contrasts with a tightening security response under heavy reporting constraints.

Overview

  • Rights network HRANA reports at least 35 people killed and more than 1,200 detained in protests recorded at over 250 locations across 27 of Iran’s 31 provinces.
  • The judiciary chief ordered prosecutors to show no leniency toward those deemed rioters as police and anti‑riot units expanded deployments in Tehran and other cities.
  • Security forces fired tear gas at demonstrators in the Grand Bazaar of Tehran on Tuesday, with videos and rights groups describing anti‑government chants and rapid dispersals.
  • The government announced a roughly $7 per‑person monthly credit for four months to ease price pressures, even as arrests, home raids and unannounced military exercises were reported.
  • Iranian authorities said they detained a suspect linked to Israel’s Mossad, while the United States warned Tehran against killing protesters and condemned a reported security raid on a hospital in Ilam.
