At least 2,571 killed in Iran's protests, Trump says 'help is on the way'

The death toll from protests in Iran has reached 2,571, the U.S.-based HRANA rights group said on Wednesday, as the Islamic Republic's clerical rulers try to quash the biggest wave of dissent in years, sparking threats of U.S. intervention.
A renewed confrontation between Washington and Tehran, following an Israeli and U.S. bombing campaign against Iran last year targeting its nuclear programme, would furthers unsettle the Middle East - already battered by the two-year war in Gaza.
