Iran Protests Escalate LIVE: Nationwide Internet Shutdown Amid Fresh Escalation In Tehran | WION
A ‘nationwide internet blackout’ was reported in Iran on Thursday night (January 8, 2026) amid a fresh wave of escalation in Tehran following a call for mass demonstration by the country’s exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. This comes after twelve days of protests in the country over its ailing economy. Rights groups accused Iranian security forces of shooting at protesters as the death toll mounted from a crackdown by authorities. So far, at least 45 people have been killed, while more than 2,260 others have been detained, as per human rights agencies. Demonstrations that began over economic hardship are now widening into broader criticism of governance, making this the biggest protest wave since 2022. At least 36 people have been dead during the protest. Join us live to know more on this!
