Can the US help Iran? What Iranians say - inside and outside the country
AI Summary
Recent protests in Iran, fueled by economic hardship and calls for an end to the Islamic Republic, have been met with deadly force by security forces. The protests began just before the new year and escalated rapidly, with reports of widespread unrest, including in Tehran. Varying reports estimate the death toll to be between 3,117 and over 25,000, though verification is difficult due to internet blackouts and limited independent reporting. The US has expressed support for the protesters, and US and Iranian officials recently held talks. One Iranian woman, Mojdeh, and her husband, visiting from the US, witnessed the protests firsthand and described a city gripped by unrest and security force presence.
