At least 62 people have died in Iran: Khamenei stated there would be no concessions.

According to ТСН: During large-scale protests that engulfed dozens of cities in Iran, at least 62 people have died. The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, emphasized that the government 'will not yield to vandals.'

According to the Iranian human rights organization HRANA, among the deceased, 48 were protesters, and 14 were security personnel.

"It’s better not to start shooting, because we will also start shooting," said U.S. President Donald Trump, emphasizing the importance of safety for demonstrators in the dangerous situation in Iran.

The Iranian Ministry of Information and Communications Technology reported an Internet shutdown in the country due to the decisions made by 'competent security authorities.'

The Iran Human Rights organization noted that since the beginning of the protests, at least 51 people have died, including nine children under 18, exceeding previous reports on 45 fatalities.

Situation in Iran

Protests in Iran began in late December due to economic difficulties and the fall of the national currency. According to human rights defenders, protests have spread to more than 270 populated areas in 27 of the 31 provinces of the country.

The Grand Bazaar in Tehran became one of the centers of the protests. Witnesses report that security forces used tear gas in an attempt to disperse demonstrators after shopkeepers closed their stores.

According to data from Iran Human Rights, at least 45 people, including eight children, have died during the protests. Hundreds of people were injured, and over 2,000 were detained. Official authorities acknowledge the death of only 21 people, including security personnel.

The President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, urged security forces to show restraint and pointed to the need for dialogue with the population, but protests continue to expand.

At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine urged citizens to urgently leave Iran in light of the protests.

This situation in Iran raises international concern. The protests have already gained significant scale and attracted the attention of the global community, particularly through calls for the protection of human rights. Events in Iran may have long-term consequences not only for the country's domestic policy but also for its international relations.
