An Iranian social media influencer known as 'Baby Rider', famous for posting motorcycle videos without a headscarf, has died under disputed circumstances. Human rights groups allege that Diana Bahador, aged 19, was killed by authorities during protests, while state media claims she died in a motorcycle accident. Reports suggest her family was pressured to publicly deny any involvement by the regime in her death. The incident comes amid a violent crackdown on protests in Iran, with conflicting reports on the number of casualties and widespread unrest across the country. Tensions have further escalated as the United States has deployed military forces to the region, raising fears of potential conflict.
