Iran Finance Alert: Khamenei Acknowledges Thousands of Deaths in Nationwide Protests
Share this:
Ayatollah Khamenei just did something rare. He finally admitted that thousands of people died during the recent wave of protests across Iran.
It’s a huge shift from the regime’s usual stance of staying quiet about internal chaos. We don’t often see this level of honesty from the top of the Iraanse bewind.
Human rights groups have been counting the bodies for weeks. They now think the death toll is actually higher than 3,000 people.
That is a staggering number for any modern conflict. It shows just how much pain and violence the country is feeling right now.
Khamenei went on TV to talk about the violence. He claimed that some people were killed in brutal and inhumane ways.
But he didn’t take any blame for the way his police or army acted. Instead, he says the real killers were armed rioters who were just pretending to be protesters.
He’s trying to paint a picture of a country under attack from within. It’s a classic move to keep the focus away from the government’s own choices.
The Iranian regime says their old enemies, the United States and Israel, are behind everything. Khamenei even called the U.S. President a criminal.
He blames foreign powers for the damage done to the Iranian people and their property. This narrative helps the regime justify their harsh crackdown on the streets.
These protests didn’t start with politics. They began because people were angry about rising prices and economic pain.
It’s an Energy and Finance crisis that hit the kitchen table of every family in the country. When people can’t afford to eat or drive, they get desperate.
Soon, the anger turned into something bigger. People started shouting against the strictly Islamic regime and its rules.
They’re tired of being told what to do and how to live. It’s a direct challenge to the power of the Supreme Leader that we haven’t seen in years.
In Europe, countries like the Netherlands and Germany are watching this closely. The stability of Iran matters for global energy prices and regional security.
If the region stays unstable, you’ll likely see the impact on oil markets and your own energy bills. It’s a global problem, not just a local one.
The government’s response has been tough. They’ve used a total internet blackout to stop the world from seeing what’s happening inside their borders.
Some analysts warn that the regime’s harsh crackdown might work for a little while. However, you can’t fix a broken economy with just force and blocks.
What happens next is still a big question. The number of protests seems to be going down for now, but the underlying anger is still there.
The internet blocks make it hard to know for sure if the fire is really out. Independent reporters are still struggling to get the real facts.
We’ll have to see if the government makes any real changes to help the economy. If they don’t, these protests might just be the start of a much longer struggle.
The world is watching to see if the Iraanse regime chooses peace or more force in the coming months.
