Bloodshed in Iran: Seven Dead as Economic Protests Erupt

At least seven people have been killed in Iran during a government crackdown on widespread protests. The unrest was triggered by severe economic pressures. These include rapidly rising prices, a collapsing national currency, and critically high unemployment among young people. Security forces moved to quell the demonstrations, leading to the reported fatalities. The phrase "soaked in blood" has been used by activists online to describe the violent response.
