Iran’s foreign minister claims ‘the situation has come under total control’ in the nationwide protests
Iran’s foreign minister claims protests are controlled despite reports of at least 192 confirmed deaths and over 10,600 arrests amid a nationwide internet blackout, rights groups say.
- On Monday, Abbas Araghchi, Iran's foreign minister, said `the situation has come under total control` after a bloody crackdown on nationwide protests in Tehran.
- The demonstrations began Dec. 28 over the Iranian rial's collapse, which trades at over 1.4 million to $1, and protests swelled in Tehran challenging Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
- Authorities cut internet and phone lines on Thursday, hampering outside reporting while Iranian state television aired chants `Death to America!` and Al Jazeera, Qatar-funded broadcaster, reported despite the blackout.
- Meanwhile Monday, Iran called for pro-government demonstrators to head to the streets, while police sent warning texts as U.S. President Donald Trump weighed military and cyber options.
- U.S.-Based Human Rights Activists News Agency has verified 544 deaths 15 days into the demonstrations and reported more than 10,600 detainees amid diplomatic moves.
