Horrors in Iran: 5 Year Old Shot in Mother’s Arms as Hospitals Report Piles of Bodies

The world is watching closely as massive protests in Iran enter their second week, gathering momentum that is now perceived as a tangible threat to the survival of the regime. Reports surfacing over the weekend describe a level of brutality from security forces that has turned the streets into war zones and hospitals into morgues.

According to a senior Iranian source cited by the British "Telegraph," Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has ordered the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to crush the demonstrations at any cost, raising the national alert level to a point higher than it was during the recent direct conflict with Israel.

In response to the growing instability, major airlines have begun canceling flights to the Islamic Republic.

"Bodies Piled in Prayer Rooms"

In an attempt to hide the scale of the violence, the regime cut off internet and phone services across the country on Thursday night. However, harrowing testimonies have managed to reach international media outlets, painting a picture of a medical system in total collapse due to the sheer volume of casualties.

A doctor in a Tehran hospital told the BBC that medical centers are "overflowing" and that there are simply not enough surgeons to handle the influx of the wounded. A hospital worker described "horrific scenes," noting that staff did not even have time to perform CPR on many victims.

"About 38 people died here," the worker testified. "They shot directly at the heads of young people, and also at their hearts. The number was so high that there was not enough room in the morgue. Bodies were piled on top of each other. After the morgue filled up, they piled them in the prayer room."

A 5-Year-Old Victim

The violence has not spared the innocent. A doctor in the city of Neyshabur told CNN that security forces opened fire indiscriminately, killing at least 30 people in her area alone. "Among the dead were children," she said. "A five year old boy was shot to death in his mother's arms."

Other reports indicate that the regime is extorting the families of the victims. In the city of Rasht, where 70 bodies were reportedly brought to a single hospital on Friday night, authorities are demanding approximately $7,000 from families to release the bodies of their loved ones for burial.

"Help is on the Way"

Despite the massacre, protesters speaking to the New York Times and using Elon Musk’s Starlink to bypass the blackout describe a change in the atmosphere. "You can see that this regime is scared to the depths of its soul," said Sahar, 33, from Tehran. Another protester, Ali, declared: "Either we die, or we end these terrible conditions. There is no way these protests will calm down. This time, they cannot stop us."

The cries from the street have reached Washington. Following President Trump’s warning that the US would act if protesters were harmed, the Wall Street Journal reported that the administration is holding preliminary discussions on potential targets for a strike in Iran.

On his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: "Iran wants freedom, perhaps as never before. The USA is ready to help!!!" Senator Lindsey Graham echoed this sentiment, sending a direct message to the Iranian people: "To everyone paying a heavy price in Iran, God bless you. Help is on the way. Your long nightmare will end soon."
