Iran’s Crackdown Intensifies as Protests Persist and Reports Cite Hundreds Dead

A sweeping internet shutdown is obscuring the real toll and limiting independent verification of casualties and arrests.

Overview

  • Human rights group HRANA now reports at least 466 people killed, 48 security personnel dead and over 10,600 arrests, figures that remain hard to verify under current conditions.
  • NetBlocks says the selective internet blackout has exceeded 60 hours, severely curbing communications and outside monitoring.
  • Iran’s prosecutor warned participants they could be prosecuted as “enemies of God,” a charge carrying the death penalty, while the IRGC has been placed on heightened alert.
  • President Donald Trump said the United States is ready to help protesters, and U.S. media report preliminary military options are being discussed with no decision announced.
  • Israel is on high alert as officials assess potential U.S. action, and Iranian leaders warn that any American strike would prompt retaliation against U.S. and Israeli targets.
