Staff at three hospitals in Iran have told the BBC their facilities are overwhelmed with dead or injured patients, as major anti-government protests continue.
A medic at one Tehran hospital said there were "direct shots to the heads of the young people, to their hearts as well", while a doctor said an eye hospital in the capital had gone into crisis mode.
Two of the medical workers who spoke to the BBC said they treated gunshot wounds from both live ammunition and pellets.
On Friday, the US repeated that killing protesters would be met with a military response. Iran blamed the US for turning peaceful protests into what it called "violent subversive acts and widespread vandalism".
Reacting to the latest developments, President Trump posted on social media: "Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!!"

The protests began in the capital Tehran a fortnight ago over economic hardship.
They have since spread to more than 100 cities and towns across all of Iran's provinces. Hundreds of protesters are believed to have been killed and injured, and many more detained. BBC Persian has confirmed the identities of 26, including six children.
Members of the security forces have also been killed, with one human rights group putting the number at 14.
BBC Persian has verified that 70 bodies were brought to Poursina Hospital in Rasht city on Friday night. The morgue there was at full capacity, so the bodies were taken away. The authorities asked the relatives of the dead for 7 billion rials (£5,222; $7,000) to release them for burial, a hospital source said.
The BBC and most other international news organisations are unable to report from inside Iran, and the country has been...

A middle thinker (midwit) things everyone else is just like them
This isn’t the case. We don’t encourage our children to kill other innocent children. We do not celebrate their deaths as long as they took others with them.
We are not all alike
Why does it still seem obvious that they’re going to put down this revolt, kill a whole bunch of people, imprison a whole bunch more, and then that will be the end of it?
SHOT DOWN BY THE VERY SAME ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT THEIR PARENTS AND GRAND-PARENTS RIOTED FOR IN 1979.
I do believe Trump and Netanyahu know exactly where the Ayatoilet is.
He and the mullahs were WARNED about killing Persians.
The clock is ticking……I hope the old geezer and the IRG get slammed.
I was in grad school at NCSU when the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis erupted. There were Muslims on campus demonstrating in support of the Ayatollah. I heard that they were going to show a film on campus of real time events. I went. No one hassled or spoke to me. I may have been the only gringo in the room of ~200 students. I recall seeing clips of corpses stacked in makeshift morgues. That scene caused many in the audience to click their tongues, which in the U.S. was an expression of sarcasm or mild disapproval. For them I took it to mean they were sympathizing for the fallen who were overthrowing the Shah.
Maybe the Ayatollah is headed for Moscow soon. He better hurry or he might be caught by his “Flock”.
The IRGC shoots people in the eye with pellet guns. Nice! Hopefully they all get hunted down and stomped to death.
MAGA is on the march.

So we have now reached a point in time where there has to be a warning before even a graphic description ??
Sad what this world has come to.
SHOW ME THE PICTURES !
LET ME JUDGE THE TRUTH !!!
I am not optimistic, it looks like the regime will do whatever it takes to put down the rebellion, and Trump will have egg on his face if that happens.
Staff at three hospitals in Iran have told the BBC their facilities are overwhelmed with dead or injured patients, as major anti-government protests continue.

BBC claims to have alleged staff at 3 hospitals telling them of being overwhelmed as anti government protests are alleged to be major and alleged to be ongoing.

Final sentence which very clearly says all text prior to it is unreliable and indicates nothing.
On the one hand I don't want to see the U.S. getting involved, but on the other our President has already done it, and we may have another Bay of Pigs here where "the people" rise up expecting support from the U.S. - which is not forthcoming - and then they get killed for their trouble.
“ I do believe Trump and Netanyahu know exactly where the Ayatoilet is.

The clock is ticking……I hope the old geezer and the IRG get slammed.”
A well placed JDAM on his house would do the trick.
Don’t believe anything being put out by the BBC regarding Iran.
-SB
I didn’t read or see anything in the article that would warrant a warning like that.
