伊朗安全部队异常暴力的镇压目前看来已经成功了据活动人士和分析人士称，在将抗议者从街上赶走的过程中谁管理与国内的人们交谈尽管信息封锁。
示威活动始于12月下旬，抗议者在德黑兰高呼反对通货膨胀上升和国家货币贬值蔓延到整个伊朗变得更加反政府。当局关闭了伊朗的互联网一个多星期，安全部队开始镇压抗议活动。
伊朗的互联网封锁继续使得从地面获得清晰的画面变得非常困难，但现在能够使用电话线的人、少数能够使用Starlink卫星终端的人以及最近离开该国的伊朗人的叙述正在出现。
这些人描述了伊朗城市诡异的平静，全副武装的安全部队部署在街道上，实施许多人所说的事实上的宵禁。
住在华盛顿特区的伊朗活动家Mehdi Yahyanejad说，他已经帮助向伊朗的公民记者和其他人发送了数百台Starlink终端，以帮助他们避开政府封锁。
“不幸的是，镇压如此严厉，抗议活动几乎已经停止，”他周四对美国广播公司新闻说。
叶海亚内贾德说:“到处都是安全部队，到处都是恐惧的气氛，谁联合创立了反审查组织网络自由先锋。
对抗议活动的压制似乎降低了美国军事干预的可能性。唐纳德·特朗普总统最初表示，美国可能会采取军事行动支持抗议者。
Yahyanejad说，在过去的几天里，仍然有持不同政见者的迹象——人们可以听到从窗口呼喊反政府口号。在一些街区，成群的年轻人也聚集在一起，高喊口号，然后在安全部队到达时迅速逃离。
随着更多信息的披露，镇压造成的死亡人数继续上升。总部位于华盛顿的人权活动家通讯社HRANA现在认为，自12月28日以来，已有超过3919名抗议者丧生。
HRANA表示，自抗议开始以来，共有24，669人被捕，其中包括2，107名受重伤的抗议者。
美国广播公司新闻无法独立核实这些数字。尽管最近几天没有大规模示威的迹象，人权组织仍在继续核实在几周的动乱中遇难者的身份。
伊朗伊斯兰共和国没有公布死亡人数，但是阿亚图拉阿里·哈梅内伊星期六说，数千人被杀。其他伊朗当局此前曾表示，三分之二的死者是被抗议者杀害的“烈士”，他们称抗议者为“恐怖分子”和“以色列和美国的雇佣军”
Yahyanejad说，虽然表面下仍有强烈的愤怒，但他怀疑抗议活动会重新开始，除非美国发动罢工。
“我认为如果美国不采取行动，我不认为他们会这么快回来，”他说。
关于美国可能的回应，唐纳德·特朗普总统周五下午告诉记者，说服他不要打击伊朗的不是阿拉伯和以色列官员，而是他自己决定不打击伊朗。
“没人说服我。我说服了自己，”特朗普说。
伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽什基安发布到X周日称“对我们国家最高领袖的任何侵犯都等同于对伊朗民族的全面战争”，指的是阿亚图拉阿里·哈梅内伊。
他还指责“美国政府及其盟友对伊朗实施的长期敌意和不人道的制裁”是伊朗人民面临“艰难困苦”的“主要原因之一”。
特朗普称赞伊朗政权取消了800多名学生预定绞刑据他所说，周四“另一边有非常重要的消息来源。”
特朗普周五在他的社交媒体平台上说:“我非常尊重这样一个事实，即所有原定于昨天举行的绞刑(超过800次)都被伊朗领导层取消了。”
伊朗司法机构负责人Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei周三表示，将加快审判和处决在全国抗议活动中被捕的人。特朗普声称计划中的绞刑已经停止，伊朗政府尚未对此发表评论。
对受伤抗议者安全的担忧
有人担心，随着政府开始围捕抗议者，逮捕行动才刚刚开始，活动家和独立分析师告诉美国广播公司新闻。
受伤的人害怕去医院或诊所，因为安全人员在那里等着他们，根据Yahyanejad。
据活动人士和分析人士称，还有指控称，在大规模屠杀期间，一些受重伤的抗议者被从医院转移并被处决。这些指控基于视频，视频显示尸体仍然插着管子或导管，但头部有枪伤。
伊朗医生Yasser Ghorashi在查看尸体照片时告诉ABC新闻，伊朗的医院从来不会在没有移除所有医疗工具和设备的情况下将尸体送到停尸房。
这位住在多伦多的伊朗医生说，他已经与国内的医生取得了联系，这些医生报告说，安全部队袭击了医院，带走了受伤的抗议者。
他们的叙述与美国广播公司新闻证实的视频相符，该视频显示，在抗议活动的早期，安全部队袭击了伊朗西部城市伊拉姆的医院。
Bloody crackdown appears to have quelled Iran protests for now
An extraordinarily violent crackdown by Iranian security forcesappears to have succeeded for nowin driving protesters from the streets, according to activists and analystswho managedto speak with people inside the countrydespite the information blackout.
Demonstrations began in late December with protesters chanting in Tehran against rising inflation and the falling value of the national currency beforespreading across Iranand becoming more explicitly anti-government. Authorities have shut down the internet in Iran for more than a week as security forces moved to crush the protests.
The internet blackout in Iran continues to make it very difficult to get a clear picture from the ground, but accounts are emerging from people now able to use phone lines, those few with access to working Starlink satellite terminals and Iranians who have recently left the country.
These people describe an eerie calm over Iran's cities, where heavily armed security forces are deployed on the streets enforcing what many are describing as a de-facto curfew.
Mehdi Yahyanejad, an Iranian activist based in Washington, D.C., says he has helped send in hundreds of Starlink terminals to citizen journalists and others in Iran to help get around the government blackout.
"Unfortunately, the crackdown has been so severe the protests have pretty much come to a halt," he said told ABC News on Thursday.
"There are security forces everywhere -- there is a state of fear," said Yahyanejad,who co-foundedNet Freedom Pioneers, an anti-censorship group.
The smothering of the protests would seem to make U.S. military intervention less likely. President Donald Trump initially signaled there could be possible U.S. military action in support of protesters.
Yahyanejad said in the past few days there are still signs of dissent -- people were heard chanting anti-regime slogans from windows. In some neighborhoods groups of youths have also gathered and shouted slogans, before quickly fleeing when security forces arrive.
The death toll from the crackdown continues to grow as more information comes out. The D.C.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, HRANA, now puts it at more than 3,919 protesters killed since Dec. 28.
A total of 24,669 people have been arrested in the protests since they began, including 2,107 injured protesters with serious wounds, according to HRANA.
ABC News cannot independently verify these numbers. Although there have not been signs of major demonstrations in recent days, human rights groups are continuing to verify the identities of those killed over the weeks of unrest.
The Islamic Republic has not released a death toll, but Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Saturday that thousands have been killed. Other Iranian authorities have said before that two-thirds of those dead are "martyrs" killed by protesters that they describe as "terrorists" and "mercenary agents of Israel and the U.S."
Yahyanejad said while there was intense anger under the surface still, he doubted the protests would restart unless the U.S. launched strikes.
"I think if there is no action from the U.S., I don't think they are going to come back that soon," he said.
Regarding a possible U.S. response, President Donald Trump told reporters Friday afternoon that it was not Arab and Israeli officials who convinced him not to strike Iran, but that he made the decision himself not to strike the country.
"Nobody convinced me. I convinced myself," Trump said.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkianposted to Xon Sunday that "any aggression against the Supreme Leader of our country is tantamount to all-out war against the Iranian nation," referring to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
He also blamed what he described as "the longstanding enmity and inhumane sanctions imposed by the United States government and its allies" against Iran as "one of the main reasons" for the "hardship and difficulties" faced by people in Iran.
Trump applauded the Iranian regime for what he claims is the cancellation of over 800scheduled hangingson Thursday, according to what he said "are very important sources on the other side."
"I greatly respect the fact that all scheduled hangings, which were to take place yesterday (Over 800 of them), have been cancelled by the leadership of Iran," Trump said on his social media platform Friday.
The head of Iran's judiciary, Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, had suggested Wednesday that there would be expedited trials and executions for those who have been arrested in the nationwide protests. The Iranian government has yet to comment on Trump's claim that the scheduled hangings have been halted.
Concerns about the safety of injured protesters
There are fears the arrests are just beginning as the regime moves to round up protesters,activists and independent analysts told ABC News.
Injured people are frightened to visit hospitals or clinics because security officers are waiting for them there,according toYahyanejad.
There are also allegations that during the mass killing, some severely injured protesters were removed from hospitals and executed, according to activists and analysts. The accusations are based on videos that show bodies still intubated or with catheters, but with bullet wounds to the head.
Reviewing the pictures of the bodies, Yasser Ghorashi, an Iranian doctor, told ABC News that hospitals in Iran never send a body to the morgue without removing all medical tools and devices.
The Toronto-based Iranian doctor said that he had been in touch with doctors inside the country who reported security forces had raided hospitals and taken injured protesters.
Their accounts match videos verified by ABC News that shows security forces raiding hospitals in Ilam, a city in west Iran, during the early days of the protests.
