Activists said on Tuesday that at least 35 people have been killed in clashes linked to ongoing protests across Iran, with demonstrations continuing unabated. According to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, more than 1,200 people have been arrested since the protests began over a week ago. The group reported that those killed include 29 demonstrators, four children, and two members of Iran’s security forces. The organization, which gathers information through a network of activists inside Iran, has previously provided reliable data during periods of unrest. Economic pressure has intensified as sanctions tightened and the country struggled in the aftermath of a 12-day conflict with Israel.
