Is Tehran sitting and reviewing reports on the situation of the rulers in the USA and considering invading them and setting up colonies there where sweatshops can produce cheap consumer goods for the Iranian people?
The protests in Iran have been suppressed. International media report varying death tolls related to the protests in Iran. The most internationally cited figures on the number of deaths come from HRANA, a U.S.-based human rights organization that verifies each death with the help of a network of activists on the ground in Iran.
On January 28, HRANA reported that the number of confirmed deaths had reached 6,301 people. At the same time, 17,091 deaths are reported to be under investigation, and thus the total number of deaths is likely to increase.
High-ranking sources within Iran's Ministry of Health told Time Magazine that more than 30,000 people may have been killed in connection with the demonstrations. The UN special rapporteur for Iran says that tens of thousands of people may have lost their lives. Similar, and even higher, figures have been reported by doctors and emergency services in the country.

Agents involved in the Pretti shooting have been taken out of service. Spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday evening that the two officers had been temporarily taken out of service, reports the U.S. media company NBC.
According to a new report from the border authority to Congress, which CBS News has obtained, the border police attempted to arrest Pretti, who resisted. In the commotion, another federal officer reportedly shouted several times that Pretti was carrying a weapon, after which two border police officers fired the fatal shots.
The shooting is the second death linked to the ongoing ICE operation in Minnesota and has sparked widespread protests across the state.
The incident has also led to sharp criticism from both Democrats and Republicans. See the article on SVT Nyheter.
