Iran is facing its worst unrest in years. Protests sparked by economic crisis have turned into a major anti-government movement. Reports say over 2,000 people have been killed and thousands arrested. Many protesters suffered serious injuries, including over 400 eye wounds in one Tehran hospital. Despite internet blackouts, reports of violence continue to emerge. The Iranian government blames the US for pushing a pretext for military intervention. US President Donald Trump warned of "very strong action" if Iran starts executing protesters. Trump told CBS News, "When they start killing thousands of people – and now you’re telling me about hanging. We’ll see how that’s going to work out for them." A 26-year-old protester, Erfan Soltani from Karaj, faces execution this Wednesday, according to the Kurdish rights group Hengaw. Trump urged protests to keep going, saying on Truth Social, "Iranian Patriots, keep protesting – take over your institutions!!! … help is on its way." The White House said airstrikes are "many, many options" being considered. The US State Department advised US citizens to leave Iran immediately and consider travel by land to Armenia or Turkey due to ongoing internet and safety issues. Internet outages have lasted more than five days, but Elon Musk's SpaceX is providing free Starlink satellite internet in Iran. Trump canceled meetings with Iranian officials until the "senseless killing" stops. He is set for a briefing on the casualties. In secret talks, Trump envoy Steve Witkoff met exiled Iranian crown prince Reza Pahlavi, who has declared readiness to lead a transition. Iran's UN ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani said Trump was inciting violence and threatening Iran's sovereignty. He blamed the US and Israel for innocent deaths. Russia condemned foreign interference and warned of "disastrous consequences" if the US repeats strikes on Iran. European nations including Britain, France, Germany, and Italy summoned Iranian ambassadors to protest the crackdown. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the rising casualties "horrifying." German Chancellor Friedrich Merz predicted the Iranian government could fall soon.
