Iran Protests: Farabi Eye Hospital in Tehran has declared a state of emergency after receiving a large number of patients with gunshot wounds, including injuries to the head, eyes, and chest. According to medical staff in the capital who spoke anonymously, the injuries were caused by live ammunition and pellet fire, and the volume of casualties has overwhelmed available resources. A doctor at Farabi Hospital said non-urgent admissions and surgeries have been suspended, with additional staff called in to manage the influx. Medical personnel described critical shortages in staff and capacity, with some patients arriving in life-threatening condition. Iranian authorities have denied fatalities in some areas, while independent medical sources say casualty numbers are continuing to rise.
