The escalating unrest in Iran has claimed the lives of at least 35 individuals and led to the arrest of over 1,200 people. These figures, reported by the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, highlight the severity of the situation as protests persist beyond a week.

According to the agency, fatalities include 29 protestors, four children, and two members of the Iranian security forces. Demonstrations have erupted in more than 250 locations across 27 of Iran's 31 provinces, with accuracy bolstered by an activist network within the country.

Heightening tensions, US President Donald Trump warned Iran against violent suppression of peaceful protesters, declaring potential US intervention. This caused a backlash from Iranian officials, further fueled by recent US military actions, underscoring the geopolitical stakes amidst the nation's most significant protest movement since 2022.
