Iran Protests Escalate with Death Threats

Big protests are happening in Iran because people are upset about the economy.

The money isn't worth much, and prices are very high.

The protests started in markets and have spread all over the country.

An exiled prince, Reza Pahlavi, is asking people to keep protesting and even go on strike in important industries like oil and gas.

He also said he might come back to Iran soon.

The US says they support the protesters but aren't sure if they should get more involved.

The Iranian government is trying to stop the protests, even by cutting off the internet and using the army and security forces.

The leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, called the protesters 'vandals' and said the government won't back down.

Many people have been hurt and arrested, and other countries are watching closely.

The government has even said that protesters could be punished with the death penalty.
