"A US-based group said the number of people killed in the protests against the regime in Iran has exceeded 6,100. US war ships have reached the region, with an IRCG official warning neighbors against aiding any strikes. The crackdown on the protests across Iran has resulted in at least 6,159 people being killed, an activist group said. According to US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), many others are feared dead as the demonstrations against the regime continue."
"Out of the 6,159 victims, 5,804 are protesters, 214 security forces, 92 children and 49 civilians uninvolved with the protests. In addition to the number of deaths, HRANA also said 42,200 people have so far been arrested by Tehran. HRANA's figures have been found accurate in previous rounds of protests in Iran. The official death toll provided by Iran stands at 3,117, far lower than the number of victims named by HRANA."
"The latest death count comes a day after a group of US aircraft carriers reached the region, giving Washington and its allies a wider array of potential military response to the crisis. The arrival of USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, accompanied by guided missile destroyers, means that the US could strike in Iran without having to depart from its bases in the Gulf, after the region's countries voiced their willingness to stay out of any attacks."
At least 6,159 people have been killed in nationwide protests across Iran, with 5,804 identified as protesters, 214 security forces, 92 children and 49 uninvolved civilians. HRANA reports that 42,200 people have been arrested so far and verifies deaths through activists on the ground amid a prolonged internet shutdown. Iran's official toll is 3,117, characterizing many victims as "terrorists," a figure far lower than HRANA's count. A group of US aircraft carriers, including the USS Abraham Lincoln accompanied by guided missile destroyers, has arrived in the region, expanding potential military response options.
