Iran is facing a sharp escalation in unrest as protest activity across the country turns increasingly violent, with graphic videos showing heavy force being used against demonstrators in public streets.

The confrontation has carried a rising human cost on all sides.

Iranian authorities have confirmed that dozens of police officers have been killed during the unrest, indicating that clashes have moved beyond isolated demonstrations into sustained and deadly confrontations.

As the situation deteriorates, President Donald Trump has been briefed on the escalating crisis, reflecting growing international concern over the scale of violence and its broader geopolitical implications.

The briefings signal close monitoring at the highest levels of the United States government as instability deepens.

The full scope of casualties, the precise sequence of events, and the trajectory of the protests remain uncertain, but the available evidence points to a rapidly worsening internal security situation.

Iran’s unrest has entered a phase where domestic stability and regional consequences are now tightly intertwined.
