Protests have broken out across Iran, with particularly intense unrest reported in Fasa, where demonstrators overran the governor's headquarters and confronted security forces using tear gas. Iran's judiciary has now directly denied reports that anyone was killed in Fasa, rejecting earlier claims circulating on social media.
In multiple cities, protesters were heard chanting "Death to the Dictator" and "Seyyed Ali (Khamenei) will be toppled this year," openly targeting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the demonstrations escalate beyond economic grievances into outright political defiance.
Authorities say security forces carried out a heavy nationwide crackdown overnight, with clashes reported in numerous locations. In Kohdasht, Iranian officials confirm that one Basij member was killed during the unrest. As protests continue to expand across the country, we are closely following developments and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
