Iran Protests Escalate with Deaths, Executions

Iran Protests Escalate with Deaths, Executions

In Iran, there are big protests happening because people are upset about the economy and other problems.

The government is trying to stop the protests and has cut off the internet so people can't share what's happening.

Even with the internet down, protesters are using Starlink, a satellite internet service, to show the world what's going on.

The government is trying to stop Starlink too.

Many people have been hurt or killed in the protests, and the government is arresting people.

The government is also planning to execute a protester named Erfan Soltani, which has caused more outrage.

Other countries, like the US and Russia, have different opinions about what should happen.

The US president, Donald Trump, is supporting the protesters and has put new rules on countries that do business with Iran.

Russia says the US shouldn't get involved.

It's a very serious situation, and people are worried about what will happen next.
