After approximately 200 hours of internet blackout, Iran has restored minimal network connectivity, allowing new protest footage to emerge from the country. Netblocks reports only a marginal increase in internet activity with no significant return to normal operations. These videos show thousands of demonstrators in the streets with chants against regime authorities amid smoke and violence.

Iranian state television attempts to portray protesters as rioters responsible for widespread destruction, contradicting graphic eyewitness accounts describing severe government violence against civilians. Victims describe being attacked with weapons including stones, knives, and curved blades, with reports of serious injuries including severed fingers and torn tendons. New photographs from a pathology facility near Tehran showing rows of bodies provide visual evidence contradicting the official narrative.

A major human rights organization reports approximately 3,090 confirmed deaths from the crackdown, with fewer than 200 being regime personnel, while approximately 4,000 additional cases remain under investigation. Over 20,000 people have been arrested, and around 2,000 are severely wounded. The segment concludes by questioning whether international intervention could push Iranians back into the streets as the regime maintains control 21 days into the protests.
