Dozens are reported to have been killed since anti-government protests began spreading across the country almost two weeks ago.

U.S. President Donald Trump is treading carefully around the issue of mass protests in Iran amid some U.S. predictions that the unrest may not be widespread enough to challenge Tehran's clerical establishment.

Nearly 50 years after the 1979 Islamic Revolution overthrew his father, exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has spurred demonstrators onto the streets in a massive escalation of the protests sweeping Iran.

Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Pahlavi appeals to President Donald Trump for immediate intervention as Iran implements internet blackout amid deadly protests.

The country is under a nationwide internet blackout after almost two weeks of widespread anti-government protests.

Demonstrations broke out in Iran on Dec. 28 and have spread nationwide as protesters vent their increasing discontent over the Islamic Republic’s faltering economy and the collapse of its currency.

Security forces have repeatedly responded with violence, including killing protesters, raiding hospitals and arresting thousands, according to rights groups.
