Protesters in Iran defied a government crackdown on Saturday night, taking to the streets despite medics at two hospitals telling the BBC more than 100 bodies have been brought in over a two day period.
Videos verified by the BBC and eyewitness accounts appeared to show the government was ramping up its response.
Iran’s attorney general said anyone protesting would be considered an “enemy of God” – an offence that carries the death penalty.
US President Donald Trump has threatened to hit Iran “very hard” if they “start killing people”. Iran’s parliament speaker warned that if the US attacks Iran, Israel and all US military and shipping bases in the region would be legitimate targets.
