President Donald Trump says the U.S. military is considering 'very strong options' in Iran, as anti-government protests which have reportedly killed hundreds enter a third week. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activist News Agency (HRANA) says it has verified the deaths of nearly 500 protesters and 48 security personnel in Iran, while sources tell the BBC the death toll could be much higher. Trump has threatened to intervene, stating that Iranian officials had called him 'to negotiate.' While some reports indicate military actions may be on the table, the Iranian government is facing mounting criticism and unrest from its citizens. Amid rising tensions, internet access has become limited, complicating access to information from within Iran, and raising the stakes in a potentially explosive situation.
