Online.ua – According to human rights activists, at least 2,571 people have died as a result of the protests, of whom 2,403 were protesters and 147 were individuals associated with the Iranian government.
In addition, more than 18,100 people were detained during the riots, HRANA added.
The human rights activists’ figures far exceed the number of deaths during any other protests or unrest in Iran in recent decades and resemble the chaos during the events of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
In their first phone call since the connection was cut, witnesses in Iran described heightened security in central Tehran, burned government buildings, smashed ATMs and few passersby. At the same time, people were worried about what would happen next, including the possibility of an attack by the United States.
They also reported that several banks and government offices were burned during the riots. Shops were open on Tuesday, but there were few people in the capital.
In addition, security officials were apparently searching for Starlink satellite internet terminals. Residents of northern Tehran reported that authorities were conducting searches in apartment buildings with satellite dishes. On Wednesday, activists said that Starlink was offering free services in Iran.
