Iran Protests: The ongoing anti-government protests in Iran have now reached a destructive and deadly phase. On one hand, while the number of people killed in the repressive action of security forces has exceeded twenty-five hundred, on the other hand, ignoring the warnings of the international community, the Iranian administration has taken the tough decision of hanging a protestor for the first time.
Authorities in Iran have decided to hang a protester on Wednesday amid mass arrests of anti-regime protesters, according to a report. The name of the person who is being hanged in Iran is 26-year-old Irfan Sultani. However, the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFD) has strongly opposed it. Meanwhile, Trump has repeatedly warned that the US could take military action in response to the deaths of peaceful protesters.
Protests continue for 17th day in Iran
The rebellion that has been going on in Iran for the last several days is not showing any signs of stopping. Protests continue in Iran for the 17th day. By the end of the seventeenth day, a total of 614 protests were reported across the country. The protests are spread in about 187 cities.
Hundreds of people are dying due to the actions of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s government, while on the other hand the Iranian people have refused to bow down. This rebellion, which started with the issue of inflation, has now reached the point of removing the government.
More than twenty-five hundred people died
According to media reports, about 2,500 protesters have died during protests against Khamenei in Iran. 12 children are also included in the dead. At the same time, the arrest of 18,434 people has been confirmed in this case. In addition, 147 members of the security forces and government supporters have also been killed, including at least five civilian supporters of the government.
Exiled Prince Reza Pahlavi with protesters
Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, who lives in exile in the US, has emerged as a vocal supporter of the protesters. ‘The world has not only seen and heard the courage and voice of the protesters but has also supported them,’ he said on Tuesday. He further said that the voice of Iranians is being heard beyond the borders of the country. He also mentioned about the help coming from America.
Will the US take military action in response to the deaths of protesters?
From the US side it has been said that American citizens living in Iran should leave Iran as soon as possible. In such a situation, it is believed that US President Donald Trump may take military action in response to the deaths of protesters in Iran. Trump has already threatened Iran a few days ago that he is going to take action against Iran very soon and is taking stock of the entire situation there.
