New videos emerge from Iran as death toll continues to rise | BBC News

Published

on



The BBC has been able to speak to several Iranians in recent days, as new footage emerges of the unprecedented crackdown on protests earlier this month.

The internet blackout is now patchy, after weeks where a total shutdown made it difficult to understand what was happening in the country.

The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (Hrana) says it has so far confirmed the killing of at least 6,159 people in Iran since the unrest began and is investigating another 17,000 reported deaths.

Iranian authorities said last week that more than 3,100 people had been killed, but that the majority were security personnel or bystanders attacked by “rioters”.

Most international news organisations, including the BBC, are barred from reporting inside Iran. But, videos showing security forces firing live ammunition at crowds have been verified by the BBC.

Iran warns US that ‘we are just getting started’ after attacks in Strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



The speaker of the Iranian parliament has warned the US that “we are just getting started” after attacks on Monday in the Strait of Hormuz.

Mohammad Ghalibaf – who was the top negotiator in last month’s talks with the US – said “we know well that the continuation of the status quo is intolerable for America”, in a post on X on Tuesday morning in Persian.

US President Donald Trump’s “Project Freedom”, which began on Monday, aims to use the US military to guide stranded cargo ships out of the key waterway.

But Iran insisted that it controls the strait – and on Monday fired missiles and drones at military and commercial ships, according to the US.
