What we know about Iran’s protests and the crackdown | BBC News


US President Donald Trump has urged Iranian anti-government protesters to "keep protesting", saying "help is on its way".

Thousands of people are feared dead after a crackdown on weeks of anti-government protests in Iran. Iranians describe terrible levels of death and destruction in their first calls to family abroad in days.

An Iranian security official told news agency Reuters that the death toll could be around 2,000 people, including security personnel.

While some people in Iran are now able to call people outside the country, an ongoing internet blackout is making it difficult to verify information from inside.
