Horrifying Footage Emerges from Iran [GRAPHIC]

The protests erupted on December 28, 2025, triggered by the Iranian rial's record low value, soaring inflation, unemployment, and water shortages, but quickly morphed into broader anti-regime calls for freedom and regime change.

Witnesses and human rights groups report IRGC and Basij militias deploying snipers on rooftops, using grenades, and firing indiscriminately, with many victims under 30 years old.

A report compiled by Iranian doctors, cited by The Sunday Times yesterday, estimates at least 16,500 deaths and 330,000 injuries, describing it as the most violent crackdown in the Islamic Republic's 47-year history.

Earlier tallies from groups like Iran Human Rights put the toll at over 2,000, with thousands arrested.

International condemnation has mounted, with UN human rights experts urging Iran to halt the "cycle of violence" and restore communications.

The U.S. imposed sanctions on key Iranian officials, including former parliament speaker Ali Larijani, for orchestrating the repression.

President Donald Trump has warned of "grave consequences" if the killings continue, while protesters persist despite the blackout, smuggling footage via satellite links like Starlink.

The regime shows no signs of restraint, with reports of raided homes, coerced burials, and demands for payment per bullet fired at victims.

Human rights advocates call for urgent global intervention to avert further atrocities.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is sending fighter jets and carriers to the CENTCOM area, where the US could attack Iran if Trump decides to.

At the same time, all U.S. military personnel have left Iraq as tensions reach a boiling point.

The carrier will only arrive in 2-4 days and if the U.S. does take action, it's not likely to happen before then.
