Iran Anti-Regime Protests: Death Toll Climbs to 35 Amid Trump’s Warning Over Deadly Crackdown

Iran Anti-Regime Protests: Death Toll Climbs to 35 Amid Trump’s Warning Over Deadly Crackdown

Regime forces storm a hospital, search for wounded protesters. 

Despite President Donald Trump’s repeated warnings, the Iranian regime continues to kill demonstrators as the anti-regime unrest entered its tenth day. Over 35 people were reported killed, including four children, media reports confirm.

“The death toll in violence surrounding protests in Iran has risen to at least 35 people, activists said Tuesday, as the country’s theocracy acknowledged the unrest in one western province where security forces reportedly raided a hospital,” the Associated Press reports. “The figure came from the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, which said more than 1,200 people have been detained in the protests, which have been ongoing for more than a week.”

Protests, which began in the capital, Tehran, after the currency crashed under pressure from U.S.-led sanctions, have spread to cities across Iran. The BBC on Tuesday noted that “protests have taken place in 26 of the country’s 31 provinces since last week.”According to Reuters on Tuesday, the “protests have quickly expanded from an economic focus to broader frustrations, with some protesters chanting against the country’s clerical rulers.”

In stunning footage, an Iranian police officer is seen burning Iranian ‘Supreme Leader’ Ayatullah Khamenei’s portrait and spray-painting the slogan “Long live the King” on a wall. In cities across Iran, demonstrators raised the chants of “Death to the Dictator,” Khamenei, and hailed the former Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi.

On Monday night, regime forces, in search of injured demonstrators, stormed a hospital in the southern Iranian city of Malekshahi, the ABC news reported:

Online video showed security forces wearing riot gear raiding a hospital, where activists said they were seeking demonstrators.

The hospital assault drew criticism from the U.S. State Department, which in Iran’s Farsi language called the incident “a crime.”

“Storming the wards, beating medical staff and attacking the wounded with tear gas and ammunition is an clear crime against humanity,” a post on the social platform X read. “Hospitals are not battlefields.”

With protests raging at home, the Khamenei regime is threatening to launch ‘preemptive’ strikes against the U.S. and Israel. “Iran’s recently formed Defense Council signaled on Tuesday that it might initiate operations before absorbing a strike if it perceives a distinct danger, raising the specter of preemptive measures as tensions with the United States and Israel intensify,” Israel Hayom newspaper reported, citing the anti-regime news outlets. “A declaration aired by state media indicated that the council could interpret interventionist statements and allegations against Tehran as acts of war if they escalate beyond simple words, according to the report.”

Given President Trump’s recent warnings, the regime must tread carefully this time. Shortly after the capture of Venezuela’s dictator and narco-terrorist Nicolás Maduro, President Trump, on Sunday, cautioned that the U.S. will hit Tehran “very hard” if it continues to kill peaceful protesters. “We’re watching it very closely. If they start killing people like they have in the past, I think they’re going to get hit very hard by the United States,” Trump said on Sunday.

The protests were triggered by the currency collapse caused by President Trump’s policy of Maximum Pressure, reversing the Biden-era policy of easing sanctions and placating the Mullahs. “While Iran’s economy has for years been hobbled by US sanctions, mismanagement and corruption, conditions deteriorated sharply in the wake of the June war,” The Financial Times (UK) reported Tuesday. “The currency has since lost about 40 per cent of its value, while annual inflation rose to 42 per cent in December. Food inflation rose 72 per cent over the same period, with the price of bread rising 113 per cent.”

      people do and we continue to allow politics torule over the law and allow the criminals to run the city

      we can get to fixing iran at the same time we overtake CA and get some law and order there

They want a King! The left must be positively apoplectic about that.

There are good people in Iran. Many are misguided and misled but there are many people that don’t support the terrorist state.

Trump warned Hamas in Palestine four times with an “Or else” and never took any action. If he threatens Iran then by God do something about it! Sometines, he has a runaway mouth problem like he did after the arrest of Maduro saying “We’re going to run Venezuela”. No, we’re not going to run Venezuela.
