Iran's police chief says young people who joined protests were "deceived," and if they surrender within three days, they "will be treated with leniency."

A U.S.-based activist agency reports at least 3,919 deaths during recent protests in Iran. This figure surpasses previous estimates and highlights the severity of the crackdown.

Iran also faces much greater threats from outside. The “ axis of resistance ,” a network of allies and proxy militias that once deterred attacks, has collapsed in Lebanon and Syria. President Trump, who bombed Iran’s nuclear sites along with Israel last summer, is threatening more military strikes.

Protesters were heartened when Trump promised help was ‘on its way.’ Now, they feel betrayed by his lack of action.

A few thousand demonstrators gathered in Los Angeles in support of protesters in Iran. Marchers, some waving the flag of Iran before the Islamic Revolution, rallied downtown near LA City Hall on Sunday.

Iran's ethnic minorities, comprising nearly 50% of the population, could prove decisive in ongoing anti-regime protests as Kurdish groups lead resistance.
