Iranian protesters armed with guns clashed violently with security forces in the Tehranpars neighborhood of Tehran, sparking widespread unrest across the country. Anti-regime demonstrations have intensified, with nationwide protests becoming increasingly violent.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic, with people shouting anti-government slogans and running through the streets. The sound of gunfire echoed for several minutes, according to cellphone footage shared on Iranian TV and Fox News Digital. Videos showed protesters carrying signs that read "Death to Khamenei" and "Shame on you," while others brandished images of Iran's former monarch Reza Pahlavi.
The protests have now entered their 14th day, with at least 65 people killed and over 2,300 arrested, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency. Authorities had imposed an internet blackout that largely disconnected the country from the outside world, fueling threats of harsh punishment against protesters.
US President Donald Trump warned that the US would respond forcefully if Iran resorted to mass violence. "Iran's in big trouble," he said. "It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible just a few weeks ago. We're watching the situation very carefully."
Trump stated that the US would target Iran's vulnerabilities, without ruling out military intervention. The statement sparked concerns among officials and experts.
As tensions escalate, several airlines have suspended flights to Iran, including Lufthansa, flydubai, Turkish Airlines, AJet, Pegasus, Qatar Airways, and Austrian Airlines.
The situation remains volatile, with widespread protests spreading across the country. Dissident politician Maryam Rajavi stated that protesters are determined to triumph over the regime. The future of Iran hangs in the balance as protests continue to intensify.

I mean, come on, 65 people dead and 2,300 arrested? That's just crazy! And what's with all these signs with "Death to Khamenei" and stuff? It sounds like a total riot to me. But at the same time, I feel kinda bad for them because they're just trying to make their voices heard, you know? 
. Can't say for sure what's gonna happen next, but one thing's for sure: we're watching this situation closely 
.
IT'S LIKE, THESE PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR FREEDOM AND IT'S JUST SO CRYING SAD 
. I FEEL LIKE THE WORLD IS WATCHING THIS HAPPEN FROM AFAR AND NOT DOING ENOUGH TO HELP THESE PEOPLE 
. THE US IS TALKING ABOUT TARGETING IRAN'S VULNERABILITIES BUT SERIOUSLY, CAN'T THEY JUST SPEAK UP FOR THEM OR SOMETHING? 
.
, and over 2k are behind bars. Can't we just talk about this stuff peacefully? The internet blackout is also super unfair, it's like they're hiding the truth from us... US President Trump's threat of force seems a bit dramatic tho 
, let's hope both sides can calm down and find a peaceful resolution. Airlines suspending flights to Iran makes sense though, safety first! 
. How can you expect people to organize and protest without being able to share info online? It's just not right.
. We should be supporting those protesters, not threatening them with force. Anyway, it's gonna be interesting to see how this all plays out 
but it's not working, protesters are still coming out in droves 
and trump's all like "we'll take you down if you get violent" 
i don't think that's gonna work either, iran's got a lot of fire in its belly 
#IranProtests #RegimeChange #TrumpWarning
. It's crazy how technology has us glued to these screens, watching it all unfold like a real-life video game 
It's like we're witnessing history being written right before our eyes 
I mean, violent clashes between protesters and security forces is a big deal, right? At least 65 people killed, that's crazy 
. But, we need to keep an eye on this situation, it's getting more volatile by the minute 
.
. Trump's all talk, you know?
.
. and can you believe those airlines just suspended flights? it's like the whole world is holding its breath, waiting to see what happens next 
.
. The images of people carrying signs with anti-government slogans are just heartbreaking - it's like they're screaming out for help.
. It feels like a scripted circus, with people just trying to stir up drama. I mean, have you seen those protest signs? "Death to Khamenei" sounds more like a meme than a genuine call for change 
. And what's with all the Reza Pahlavi images? Is he some sort of savior figure or something?
