Trump Claims Iran ‘Called to Negotiate’ Amid Reports of Hundreds Killed in Regime Crackdown on Protests

Subheading:
Internet Blackout Enters Fourth Day, Starlink Providing Internet Access to Iranians

Current Situation:
• Nearly 500 protesters have been killed as Iran enters its third week of nationwide anti-government protests, according to a US-based rights group. The communication blackout imposed by authorities has now lasted more than three days.

• US President Donald Trump stated that Iran “called to negotiate,” while his administration considers potential military options for intervention. Iran’s foreign minister said Tehran remains “prepared for war” but is ready to negotiate with the US based on “mutual respect and interests.”

• Protests are spreading beyond Iran’s borders. In Los Angeles, a person was detained after driving a truck through a crowd of anti-Iranian government protesters. In Tehran, the British ambassador was summoned after a protester in London tore down the Iranian embassy’s flag.
