Iran Protests Intensify as Regime Cuts Communications

The situation in Iran is escalating with mass anti-government protests continuing for a second day. The regime has cut communications, including the internet and landlines, in an attempt to suppress the demonstrations. Iranian opposition leader Reza Pahlavi has appealed to the US President to intervene to stop the violence, warning that the regime is planning a harsh crackdown. Pahlavi called on protesters to take to the streets and urged the United States to be ready to help the people of Iran. The Iranian Foreign Minister accused the US and Israel of inciting the protests.
