Iran Protests LIVE: Trump Warns Khamenei as Death Toll Mounts Amid Digital Darkness

Desk Correspondent , Tehran - The situation in Iran has reached a critical boiling point on January 10, 2026, with the nationwide uprising entering a more violent and decisive phase. As the regime's internet blackout enters its second day, reports emerging through satellite links and border witnesses suggest a rapidly rising death toll in Tehran and other major cities. U.S. President Donald Trump issued a direct and stern warning to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stating that the world is watching and that "there will be severe consequences" if the regime continues to use lethal force against its own citizens. Trump’s message, delivered via social media and official channels, has emboldened protesters who are calling for international intervention to stop the "massacre in the dark."

The movement has gained further momentum with **Reza Pahlavi**, the exiled Crown Prince, asserting that the revolution has now reached a point of "no return." In his latest address, Pahlavi claimed that the unity between the people and defecting elements of the lower-level security forces has made the movement "unstoppable." Local reports indicate that for the first time, large groups of demonstrators have managed to breach security cordons near the Presidential Palace and other high-profile government installations in Tehran, leading to some of the most intense urban combat seen since the 1979 revolution.

The "digital darkness" imposed by the state continues to hinder the flow of information, but the lack of internet has not stopped the physical spread of the rebellion. With the Iranian Rial in a state of total collapse and basic commodities becoming unavailable, the protests have transformed from a fight for civil liberties into a desperate struggle for survival. As the death toll rises and the U.S. administration considers further "maximum pressure" measures, the global community is bracing for the potential collapse of the current Iranian order. The next 24 hours are being viewed as a "make-or-break" window for both the regime and the revolutionary forces.
