Output
INFO: Initializing protest event stream...
INFO: Detected significant increase in 'protest' and 'dissent' signals across Iranian territories.
CRITICAL: Regime response detected: live ammunition deployed against civilian targets.
DATA_STREAM: Tehran medical source (anonymous) reports 217 confirmed fatalities across 6 capital hospitals. Majority of victims sustained injuries from live ammunition.
WARN: Network connectivity for 'iran.gov' nodes severely degraded since Thursday. Suspected state-level 'kill switch' activation. This precedes previous crackdowns.
"The regime would 'pay hell' if it killed protesters." - U.S. President Donald Trump (Source: TIME)
INFO: Protests now registered in all 31 provinces. Initial triggers identified as 'economic_distress' modules, now transitioning to 'regime_overthrow' objectives.
DEBUG: Vandalism on some government structures noted, but overall 'peaceful_assembly' flags remain dominant (chants: "Freedom", "Death to the Dictator").
ERROR: Confirmed reports of authorities removing deceased from hospital premises, obscuring true casualty count. Most victims identified as young individuals.
CRITICAL: Multiple fatalities reported outside a northern Tehran police station; security forces utilized machine gun fire. Victims died "on the spot."
INFO: Human Rights Activist News Agency (D.C.-based) reports lower identified death toll: 63+ since inception (49 civilians). Discrepancy likely due to reporting standards and verification protocols.
ALERT: Regime broadcasts 'ominous_message' protocols. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: "The Islamic Republic will not back down in the face of vandals."
EXEC_FAIL: Tehran prosecutor declares potential death penalty for protesters. Islamic Revolutionary Guard official issues "If... a bullet hits you, don't complain"
warning to parents.
DEBUG: Internal 'security_forces.status' variable indicates "100% confusion" during initial 11 days. Senior officers unbriefed on 'key_decisions'.
WARN: Expert analysis (Hossein Hafezian) predicts "casualties will increase rapidly" as protests extend to middle-class areas. Declared an "existential threat".
INFO: Prior U.S. interventions (Trump's threats, Maduro capture) cited as possible factors in initial 'uneven_response' from Iranian authorities.
DEBUG: Despite perceived strength, Iran's regime is identified as "weaker than it's ever been" post-1979 revolution. This is attributed to the June conflict with Israel, which saw airstrikes and a nuclear program setback.
Additionally, a currency collapse under international sanctions and severe resource shortages have exacerbated the crisis.
INFO: Current demonstrations initiated by bazaar merchants and working-class communities. Authorities show reluctance to alienate these demographic groups, but "harsh treatment" observed in some locations.
STATE_CONFLICT: Iran's ruling structure fragmented. Supreme Leader Khamenei controls security; elected President Masoud Pezeshkian adopts conciliatory stance, but cabinet favors 'crackdown_protocol' (alleged Israeli/U.S. involvement).
DEBUG: Pezeshkian's influence severely limited; communication with Khamenei through intermediaries since Khamenei went into hiding during Israel-Iran war.
INFO: Regime attempting 'trial_and_error' mitigation: dialogues, Central Bank governor change, temporary financial aid (1M tomans/month). Resuming indirect nuclear negotiations for 'relief'.
WARN: External 'wild_card' factors: middle/upper-class participation, ethnic minority involvement, and significant support for Reza Pahlavi (son of deposed Shah) calling for mass demonstrations.

Caused by:
EconomicCollapseError: Funds exhausted, public trust = 0
InternalDissentError: Riot police '100% confusion'
ExternalInterferenceWarning: US President Trump.warn('pay hell') triggered.
Panic! Unexpected behavior. Core dump initiated.
The system attempted to suppress_dissent() with a force_multiplier set too high, leading to a fatal HumanRightsViolationException. This indicates a fundamental flaw in the governance.maintain_control() function, which seems to prioritize brute force over democratic_dialogue.
Multiple internal EconomicCollapseError and InternalDissentError exceptions created a cascading failure.
Patch Notes
- Fixed: Public perception of 'regime_leniency' by deploying live rounds. (DEBUG: Not a bug, a feature?)- New Feature: Added 'death_penalty_threat' as a primary deterrent.- WARN: Internet and mobile network access for 'iran.citizens' namespace significantly throttled/disabled. Expected to reduce 'information_flow'.- CRITICAL: Public trust in 'iran.government' API endpoints nearing 0. Requests failing.- Improved: Security force 'decision_making' latency by enforcing strict 'no_questions_asked' protocol. (WARN: May introduce 'unforeseen_consequences' in public relations module.)- Updated: Economic stabilization attempt via 'cash_handout' (1M tomans/month). (DEBUG: Band-aid on a gushing wound?)- Re-enabled: Indirect 'nuclear_negotiation' protocols with Western partners. (INFO: Hoping for 'sanctions_relief' bailout.)- Known Issue: 'youth_demographic.satisfaction' remains critically low. 'suppression_tactics' are exacerbating this.- Bug: 'system_stability' module remains highly volatile. External `US_pressure` and internal `economic_factors` continue to inject chaos.
