During the brief exchange, the insider described troubling developments on the crackdown and protesters\u2019 hope for international assistance in their struggle against the regime.\n<\/p>\n<p>Since the regime crackdown on protesters began in earnest late last week, estimates of the death toll have ranged from hundreds to thousands. One text from the insider suggests that the real number is somewhere in the thousands.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt least 1k only in tehran [sic],\u201d the insider said. \u201cDead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This conversation reportedly took place on day 15 of the protests.

Protestors have also reportedly been chanting \u201cjavid shah,\u201d meaning \u201clong live the shah.\u201d Although the phrase was previously considered taboo, the exiled monarchy has become a symbol of resistance in recent weeks.\n<\/p>\n<p>Protestors have a real shot at defeating the dictatorial regime in Iran, but they cannot do it without help. Let\u2019s pray that God would protect those being targeted by the regime, and let\u2019s pray that demonstrators would look to Him for assistance!\n<\/p>\n<h4>How are you praying about the protests in Iran?
