Iran Faces Nationwide Protests Amidst Brutal Crackdown and Rising Death Toll
In Iran, anger and grief continue to intensify as the government faces backlash from a nationwide protest movement. Reports indicate that the death toll from the recent crackdown has surpassed 7,000, with nearly 54,000 individuals arrested. The protests, which have been marked by severe violence and repression, have led to tragic losses, including the reported deaths of at least 200 children. As public sentiment remains volatile, Iranian teachers are urging a nationwide school strike to honor the victims of the regime’s terror campaign. Meanwhile, the government has announced an inquiry into the deadly protests, although skepticism endures regarding its ability to confront the ongoing state-sponsored violence. Activists and rights groups continue to highlight the despair in the country, with many calling for international attention to the plight of the Iranian people.
