Death toll in violence surrounding protests challenging Iran's theocracy reaches 116, activists say

Nationwide protests in Iran challenging the country's theocratic rule have continued for two weeks, with activists reporting that at least 116 people have been killed in the resulting violence. The demonstrations have been difficult to monitor due to widespread internet outages and restricted phone access, but reports indicate that over 2,600 individuals have been detained. Iranian state television has acknowledged ongoing protests in major cities such as Tehran and Mashhad, while focusing coverage on casualties among security forces and labeling demonstrators as 'terrorists.' Despite government efforts to control the narrative, unrest persists across the country.
