Most of Iran’s 90 million-strong population remains cut off from the world after a state-imposed communications blackout amid deadly nationwide protests. The Iranian government blocked internet and mobile communications, restoring only limited access since then. The death toll of protesters remains disputed, with Iranian authorities blaming foreign elements for the violence. Security forces are heavily present in the streets, with public funerals held for killed security forces and courts set up to prosecute protesters. The unrest marks the most deadly protests in Iran in years, with international concerns over potential armed intervention.
