Protests in Iran have continued for over two weeks, resulting in a reported death toll of more than 2,600 demonstrators, according to a human rights group. Authorities have responded with deadly force and imposed a near-total shutdown of internet and communication services, making it difficult for information to leave the country. Reporting from the Iranian-Armenian border, a BBC correspondent described widespread anger and frustration among Iranians, as well as fear of participating in demonstrations. The protests, which began over economic issues, have evolved into calls for the end of the Supreme Leader's rule, while the government has dismissed them as foreign-backed riots.
