Iran Protests Intensify: Death Toll Rises, Authorities Warn of Death Penalty, US Offers Support

Nationwide protests in Iran, challenging the theocracy, have entered their third week with activists reporting at least 116 deaths and over 2,600 detentions. Authorities have intensified a crackdown, with the attorney general warning participants could face the death penalty as "enemies of God." An internet blackout continues, complicating information gathering. Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi urged protesters to persist, citing international support, including from US President Donald Trump, who has offered assistance. The Iranian army vowed to protect public property amid the unrest.
