They might not make sense now, but these laws were created out of necessity.

Iranian-American activist Masih Alinejad is accusing the American left of turning its back on Iranian protesters amid reports of thousands of deaths and a near-total communications blackout imposed by the regime. "The silence of [the] left and liberals in America and Europe is not an accidental silence. It's an ideological silence," Alinejad said Tuesday on "Fox & Friends." Alinejad, who has been targeted by the Iranian regime for her activism, said Western activists and celebrities who loudly champion "Free Palestine" causes have remained silent as Iranians are killed in the streets.

With the government shutting down the internet and throttling phone services, Iranians are leaning heavily on Elon Musk's Starlink service to share videos of growing protests and the regime's escalating crackdown with the world. But Iran has intensified efforts to jam the service, which is banned in the country, and users are being hunted.

The death toll from nationwide protests in Iran surpassed 2,000 people on Tuesday, activists said, as Iranians made phone calls abroad for the first time in days after authorities severed communications during a crackdown on demonstrators. The number of dead climbed to at least 2,003, as reported by the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. That figure dwarfs the death toll from any other round of protest or unrest in Iran in decades and recalls the chaos surrounding the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution. Iranian state television offered the first official acknowledgment of the high death toll, quoting an official saying the country had "a lot of martyrs" and that it did not release a toll earlier because of the dead suffering gruesome injuries. However, that statement came only after activists reported their toll.
