Reports emerge of a brutal crackdown by the Iranian regime on protesters, with thousands potentially killed. The US increases its military presence in the region, while the deportation of Iranians, including asylum seekers, raises concerns.

The full extent of the Iran ian regime's crackdown on protesters is still coming to light. Thousands, if not tens of thousands of people have been massacred using chemical and military-grade weapons.As the bodies are counted, the threat of American intervention looms.

President Donald Trump has increased military presence near Iran, deploying a US aircraft carrier and several warships into the region.The Iranian regime posted a large mural in Tehran's Revolution Square depicting a warship and fighter jets, with stripes similar to those on the American flag rendered as blood in the water. The mural bears a message: 'If you sow the wind, you will reap the whirlwind.'RELATED NEWS | Iranian state TV issues first official death toll from recent protests, saying 3,117 were killedDespite the internet blackout, Iranians have seen the devastation on the streets themselves. Many are asking the American government to intervene.'They know that this regime is going to kill them,' said researcher and activist Khosro Isfahani. 'It's going to crush their lives. Their fear is that help is not coming. That's what every Iranian that I have talked with is asking me. Where is the help?'Meanwhile, the Trump administration reportedly deported several Iranians Sunday. Two gay men who were denied their asylum claims and set to be sent back on that flight Sunday are being quarantined due to a measles outbreak at their detention facility.Homosexuality is punishable by death in Iran.
