As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, yesterday, January 12, the Iranian human rights organization Iran Human Rights said that more than 6,000 people may have already been killed during the protests in Iran. At least 10,000 more protesters are likely to have been detained by security forces.

On January 9, Iran's Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi called on Trump to intervene and help the protesters who are calling for the overthrow of the ayatollahs' regime.

Also on January 9, Axios wrote that US intelligence had to revise its initial assessment of the protests in Iran. Initially, the intelligence services did not assume that the protests threatened the ayatollahs' regime.

US President Donald Trump has addressed the protesters in Iran, urging them to wait for help, which is already on the way.
