2,000 Iranians Dead, Millions Committed to 'Final Battle' - CBN NewsWatch - January 13, 2026

Now in its 17th day, the fight continues by millions of Iranians to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran. Protesters are calling out for the West to help, and especially, President Trump.

Despite a nearly total Internet blackout for days, foreign militias enlisted to fight the protesters, and live ammunition on the streets, Iranians continue to fill cities throughout Iran, such as Isfahan and Tehran, with their cry for freedom and a plea to the West.

Activists say the death toll from the nationwide protests has spiked to at least 2,000 people killed. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reports 1,847 protesters have been killed over the past few weeks, and 135 government-affiliated people have died as well.

Juliana Taimoorazy, founder and president of the Iraqi Christian Relief Council, described the cry of the protesters: "Please come and help us. The next few hours are critical. Their eyes are on Israel. Their eyes are on America. They're begging, they're pleading with us to assist."
