Iran protests death toll rises over 500 as crackdown intensifies

President Donald Trump indicated that Iran may be open to negotiations following his military threat in response to Iran's violent suppression of nationwide protests. The protests have resulted in over 500 deaths, including around 50 security personnel, with the government imposing an internet blackout. Reports suggest approximately 10,000 people have been detained, with activists alleging arbitrary death sentences without trials. Despite the crackdown, Trump is contemplating military action to support the protesters but acknowledges Iran's potential interest in dialogue.
