The death toll in Iran's ongoing protests, which began December 28, 2025, over economic woes and have since spread nationwide, has surged to at least 490 according to HRANA, up from 62 reported earlier this week. Hospitals in Tehran are overwhelmed, the internet blackout persists, and protesters are using smuggled Starlink terminals to communicate. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson condemns the violence.
