🔎 Investigate this event

Mass protests across Iran have continued since late December 2025 amid economic hardship and political discontent, evolving into one of the largest uprisings since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. According to reporting and estimates from observers, the government crackdown has resulted in an extremely high death toll and widespread injuries. Tens of thousands of demonstrators have been wounded or killed, exact figures remain uncertain due to communication blackouts imposed by the Iranian government.

Security forces have conducted widespread arrests, and authorities have restricted internet and phone access to curb independent reporting and protest coordination. The unrest has drawn global attention to Iran's domestic situation and human rights concerns.
