Iran

All getting a bit spicy now. Will the governments brutal butchering of their own citizens have the desired effect or simply stir up more anger and uprising?

I can't imagine how their regime can survive in the face of the UN response.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres said on Sunday that he was "shocked by reports of violence and excessive use of force by the Iranian authorities against protesters resulting in deaths and injuries in recent days".

"I want to emphasise that regardless of the death toll, the use of lethal force by security forces is concerning," Mai Sato, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, told BBC Persian.

"shocked" and "concerning." Just a matter of time before it's over.
