Iran Unrest: Regime Cracks Down on Protesters, Dozens Killed Amid Internet Blackout

• At least 78 protesters reportedly killed in Iran's nationwide anti-government demonstrations over 14 days.
• US-based human rights group HRANA estimates 116 total deaths, including 38 security personnel, with 7 minors among protesters.
• Over 2,638 people arrested across 185 cities and 31 provinces during the protests.
• Victims mostly killed by live ammunition or pellet gunfire, often at close range.
• Internet blackout continues, a tactic used by the regime to prevent news spread and limit international scrutiny during crackdowns.
