More than 500 people have been killed in Iran’s nationwide anti-government protests, a US-based Iranian human rights group said on Sunday, as tensions escalated between Tehran and Washington over possible foreign intervention.
The Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said it had confirmed the deaths of 490 protesters and 48 members of the security forces, adding that more than 10,600 people had been arrested over the past two weeks. The protests entered their 16th day on Sunday.
