A U.S.-based activist agency reports at least 3,766 deaths during recent protests in Iran. This figure surpasses previous estimates and highlights the severity of the crackdown. The Human Rights Activists News Agency relies on a network of activists for verification. Iranian officials have not provided a clear death toll, but Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei mentioned "several thousand" deaths. The protests began over Iran's struggling economy. Iranian leaders blame the U.S. for the unrest. Tensions with the U.S. have been high, with President Trump threatening action if violence against protesters continued. Internet access in Iran remains restricted.
