The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 63,506 around a fourth of the actual figure. Next week will be an extremely difficult week in Tehran. The recent experience in Khuzestan with the mutated strain will repeat in the country\u2019s capital,\u201d said Alireza Zali following the emergency session of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Tuesday. Iran: Former MP Acknowledges Regime Slaughtered Protesters In a recently published video clip, former member of Parliament Mahmoud Sadeghi acknowledged the Iranian regime\u2019s deliberate killing of people in the streets during anti-regime protests of 2019. According to Sadeghi, these killings were under the supervision of Ali Shamkhani, the regime\u2019s Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. \u201cIn some committees that were created to discuss the events I asked if there was any sign of opposition groups, but they said no. I told Mr. Shamkhani that these are people. They are killing people in the street, what are you doing? Will you continued to kill if they remain in the streets? Shamkhani said yes we will do it,\u201d Sadeghi acknowledged. During the November 2019 nationwide protests, the regime\u2019s suppressive forces have gunned down 1500 protesters in the streets. The protests began on November 15 following the tripled gasoline price.
