Iran says 3,117 people killed during nationwide protests

Iran has announced an official death toll of 3,117 from nationwide anti-government protests that began amid worsening economic conditions. Rights groups dispute this figure, with the Human Rights Activists News Agency (Hrana) reporting a death toll of over 4,500, including protesters and security personnel. Iranian leaders have denied that security forces killed protesters, instead blaming the United States and Israel for fomenting what they describe as "riots." The situation has escalated international tensions, with an IRGC commander warning the US and Israel against "miscalculations" and the Israeli president calling for regime change in Iran.
