Protests in Iran continue, resulting in 72 deaths and over 2,300 people detained, despite the intensification of repression by the authorities.

The protests in Iran have entered their second week, with the government acknowledging the demonstrations despite an increasing crackdown. According to the news agency for human rights activists, the death toll has reached at least 72, and over 2,300 people have been detained. The repression has been extremely brutal, with the hospital in Rasht receiving 70 corpses in a single night, and authorities demanding large sums for their release for burial. Communication lines are disrupted, complicating the assessment of the situation. The Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has signaled a continuation of the repression, and the Attorney General has threatened protesters with the charge of 'enemy of God,' which can lead to the death penalty. U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed support for the protesters, emphasizing that the U.S. is ready to help.
