Protests that began December 28, 2025, have spread to 28 of Iran’s 31 provinces, with 369 demonstrations tracked by the Institute for the Study of War. Chants now call for the return of Reza Shah Pahlavi, and rights group HRANA reports at least 35 deaths—including four children—and over 1,200 arrests. The government offered $7 monthly handouts for four months, but critics call it too small amid hyperinflation, while Elon Musk’s Persian retort to Khamenei has become a protest slogan on the streets.

At least 35 people, including 4 children, said killed in growing Iran protests

The death toll in violence surrounding protests in Iran has risen to at least 35 people, activists said Tuesday, as the demonstrations showed no signs of stopping.The figure came from the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, which said more than 1,200 people have been detained in the protests that have been ongoing for more than a week.
The death toll included 29 protesters and four children, as well as two members of Iran’s security forces. Demonstrations have reached over 250 locations in 27 of Iran’s 31 provinces.
The group, which relies on an activist network inside of Iran for its reporting, has been accurate in past unrest.
The semiofficial Fars news agency, believed to be close to Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, reported late Monday that some 250 police officers and 45 members of the Guard’s all-volunteer Basij force have been hurt in the demonstrations.

The agency also claimed Monday that the protests were slowing down, and that “the trend observed on Sunday night shows a notable decrease in the number of gatherings and their geographic reach compared to previous nights.”Advertisement
Local media’s accounting of the protests is not exhaustive, and state-run outlets have downplayed their coverage of the demonstrations, while videos flooding social media are often impossible to verify.
On Monday, most shops in Tehran were open and residents were going about their business after the end of the weekend on Sunday, according to AFP reporters in the capital.
However, riot police were deployed at major intersections and officers were stationed in front of some schools. Several universities have resumed classes, but only online.
Fear of interventionThe growing death toll carries with it the chance of American intervention. US President Donald Trump warned Iran on Friday that if Tehran “violently kills peaceful protesters,” the United States “will come to their rescue.”
While it remains unclear how and if Trump will intervene, the comments took on new importance after the US military on Saturday captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, a longtime ally of Tehran.
On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again backed the protesters, saying in Knesset, “We in Israel identify with the struggle of the Iranian people, and its aspirations for freedom and justice.”
He added that Iran might have reached “a decisive moment, in which the Iranian people take their futures into their hands.”
Earlier in the day, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said at a press conference that “the Zionist regime is determined to exploit the slightest opportunity to sow division and undermine our national unity, and we must remain vigilant.”
He accused Israeli and US leaders of “incitement to violence.”
Tehran toes the lineSince the protests began, officials have publicly struck a conciliatory tone when it comes to protesters’ economic demands, while vowing to take a hard line against any chaos or destabilization.
On Monday, the head of the country’s judiciary said that Iran will offer no leniency to “rioters,” though he affirmed that the public has a right to demonstrate, as long as they follow the law.
“I instruct the attorney general and prosecutors across the country to act in accordance with the law and with resolve against the rioters and those who support them… and to show no leniency or indulgence,” Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei said, according to the judiciary’s Mizan news agency.
He went on to add that Iran “listens to the protesters and their criticism, and distinguishes between them and rioters.”

Like I've said, Day 10 looks to be the most significant day since this uprising began.
When nighttime falls, the regime usually begins to lose control, and basiji bases and vehicles mysteriously burn down.
