Over 2,000 Killed in Iran Protest Crackdown as Trump Warns of Action. More than 2,000 people have been killed in Iran during a sweeping crackdown on nationwide protests, according to human rights groups, as U.S. President Donald Trump warned Tehran that consequences are coming. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency says it has confirmed over 1,850 protesters killed in just over two weeks, including women and children, despite a near-total internet shutdown. An Iranian official also acknowledged around 2,000 deaths, blaming what he called "terrorist groups”. President Trump says he is seeking verified figures and has promised to "act accordingly”. Writing on Truth Social, he warned Iranian authorities they would "pay a big price" and urged protesters to keep going, saying help is on the way. The unrest began over economic collapse but quickly turned into calls for political change, posing the biggest challenge to Iran's leadership in decades. As pressure mounts, Washington is weighing military, cyber, and diplomatic options, while global leaders demand an immediate end to the violence.
