'It's horrifying': Videos of body bags and machine guns give rare glimpse of Iran's bloody crackdown
One man is covered with a bloody white shroud inside a body bag. Another lies nearby, his body sprawled on the tiled floor with arms raised and blood streaked across the face.
“It’s horrifying. It’s the apocalypse,” says the man filming the scene in the warehouse of a forensics center near Tehran. “There are lots of bodies.”
Iran has been largely shut off from the rest of the world for days, since its regime cut the internet and severely restricted phone access after cities across the country erupted in anger sparked by the crash of the currency against the U.S. dollar and soaring inflation. Videos that have trickled out and circulated online offer a window into the resulting crackdown in the Islamic Republic and the methods employed by security forces to quell the unrest.
Iran protests appear to slow under weight of brutal crackdown
Relative calm in Tehran and authorities say they have no plan to execute protesters but internet shutdown continues
Iran’s nationwide protest movement appeared to have slowed on Thursday under the weight of a brutal crackdown by authorities that has left thousands dead and put tens of thousands in prison.
In Tehran, Iranians reported relative calm on the streets as the sound of gunfire faded and fires were extinguished – a marked contrast from the weeks before when large crowds confronted security forces.
The slowdown of protests came just two days after Donald Trump urged Iranians to “keep protesting – take over your institutions”, promising “help is on its way”. Intelligence assessments had indicated that the US was preparing to strike Iran, a move Trump had threatened if Iran’s government killed protesters.

Call on the international community to urgently act to end further massacres of protesters in Iran.
People in Iran, outraged at decades of repression, have poured into the streets since 28 December 2025 demanding fundamental change and a political system respecting human rights and dignity. They have been met with unprecedented lethal repression by security forces, carrying out mass killings under the cover of digital darkness since 8 January.
