""Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!... HELP IS ON ITS WAY," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. The White House says airstrikes on Iran 'remain on the table,' as US President Donald Trump weighs up his response to a crackdown on nationwide protests. Meanwhile, rights groups say they have confirmed the killing of many hundreds of people during the demonstrations."
International phone services in Iran were partially restored on January 13, 2026, after more than four days of a communications blackout. Text messages and inbound calls remain blocked and the internet remains cut off after over four and a half days. Iranian authorities imposed the blackout during a brutal security crackdown on nationwide anti-government protests that rights groups and monitors say has killed many hundreds, with some monitors accusing security forces of killing at least 600 people. Germany's chancellor called the clerical regime 'in its last days.' The US signaled a range of responses, including tariffs, possible airstrikes, and public encouragement of protesters.
