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!!!"
A hospital worker in Tehran described "very horrible scenes", saying there were so many wounded that staff did not have time to perform CPR.
"Around 38 people died. Many as soon as they reached the emergency beds... direct shots to the heads of the young people, to their hearts as well. Many of them didn't even make it to the hospital.
"The number was so large that there wasn't enough space in the morgue; the bodies were placed on top of one another.
"After the morgue became full, they stacked them on top of one another in the prayer room," she said.
The hospital worker said the dead or wounded were young people.
"Couldn't look at many of them, they were 20-25 years old."

The protesters are torching buildings and killing cops in Iran.
If that was going on in Minneapolis right now Trump would not be taking the side of the ‘peaceful protesters’ he describes in Iran threatening to use force to support them.
Unless the Army intervenes on the side of the protestors, it’s over.
If only Americans of the same age knew how much we take for granted.
Prayers for all their grieving families.
This is an instance where...I sympathize with Lindsay ‘Help is on the way’ Graham...
If the protestors are not successful, we can look forward to another 20 years or more of Iran being the largest sponsor of international terrorism.
Trump better act, or else we’ll have another Bay of Pigs on our hands.
Not sure if Cuba and Iran have anything in common.
Somebody needs to inform the rioters in Iran that the Iran military probably has the advantage of night vision. At least that advantage would be nullified if they acted during the day. Regardless, they need weapons, and they need them yesterday.
Give those courageous young people weapons, that is what they need now.
If Trump does something it will be too little too late.
I don’t see the demonsttations going on much longer. I think its lost.
Honestly this is another Trump’s all hat and not cattle talk.
This is about “security” for the Religious Mullah Leaders running Iran.
The security for the Catholic Church, the Inquisitors, were also ruthless and violent against the populace.
“If that was going on in Minneapolis right now Trump would not be taking the side of the ‘peaceful protesters’ he describes in Iran threatening to use force to support them.”
Not the same thing and you know it. Deranged TDS loon.
TDS is triggered by drinking the Kool Aid of President Trump’s social media posts and believing them not by disagreeing with them.
I have never heard of an eye hospital, before.
I take that last back. Deranged Israel hating TDS loon.
Seems that Trump is not good for his word on this one. He’d rather fart around uselessly with Greenland.
I love Israel but I question the crime family that leads it,,.
“Yair Golan says PM’s inner circle is a ‘crime family that has taken over Israel’”
Regime change in Iran helps solve (or at least improve) many problems in that region. Trump and advisors have to be thinking about that, beyond the immediate moral and political stakes. He will do something.
I read that as NPR. Laughed.
