A journalist inside Iran confirms, based on conversations with eyewitnesses and a Tehran hospital surgeon, that the number of protesters killed last night in Tehran, Karaj, and Shahriar is significant. “I was in the operating room all night,” the surgeon said. “The number of protesters killed is higher than during the 12-day war.”

Trump previously warned: “If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue.”
