🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- "Mr. President [Donald Trump], this is an urgent and immediate call for your attention, support, and action. Last night you saw the millions of brave Iranians in the streets facing down live bullets. Today, they are facing not just bullets but a total communications blackout. No Internet. No landlines.

Ali Khamenei, fearing the end of his criminal regime at the hands of the people and with the help of your powerful promise to support the protesters, has threatened the people on the streets with a brutal crack down. And he wants to use this blackout to murder these young heroes.

I have called the people to the streets to fight for their freedom and to overwhelm the security forces with sheer numbers. Last night they did that. Your threat to this criminal regime has also kept the regime’s thugs at bay. But time is of the essence. The people will be on the streets again in an hour. I am asking you to help.

You have proven and I know you are a man of peace and a man of your word. Please be prepared to intervene to help the people of Iran," - Reza Pahlavi.

🇮🇷⚡- Reports of violent, large-scale protests across Iran, even greater in size compared to yesterday.

Riot police have used tear gas and live ammunition in multiple different cities, Hezbollah-affiliate al-Mayadeen says.

⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Kan News reports that Intelligence communities in Israel and other nations are monitoring protests in Iran to assess if they are approaching a critical point that could threaten the government's stability.

The assessment notes it remains unclear whether the demonstrations will succeed in mobilising masses large enough to destabilise a government employing severe measures, including death penalty threats.

Analysts in Israel and the US have not declared how the situation will resolve, acknowledging the complexity of predicting popular uprisings.

The report references past intelligence miscalculations, such as the failure to predict the fall of Hosni Mubarak in 2011 and the sudden collapse of the Assad government in Syria.
