Iran security forces switch to live ammo in fatal crackdown on protesters

Iran's regime opened fire on protesters using live ammunition, according to a doctor who treated wounded demonstrators. The escalation from pellet guns to live ammunition sharply increased casualties, according to the medical professional who spoke with the Center for Human Rights in Iran. The use of live ammunition marks a significant shift in the security forces' tactics during protests. The Iranian regime's actions have been widely condemned by human rights organizations and critics alike.
