Internet and phone services have been shut down across Iran, coinciding with reports of widespread protests and the alleged deaths of two officers from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Videos circulating online depict large gatherings of people throughout the country.
US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning, stating that the United States would respond forcefully if Iranian forces were to begin killing protestors. He specifically mentioned that the US would hit Iran “really hard” in such a scenario.
