As Iran boiled amid the raging protests in the country against the current regime, the rich fled to Turkey and partied, according to a report by The Telegraph. The outlet revealed that its reporters observed an “elite Iranians gathering” in a nightclub in Van, a Turkish province 60 miles away from Iran’s border. Iran's elite quietly removed themselves from the ongoing unrest in the country and are believed to profit from the government. "These people benefit from the regime. They left Iran for now because they were worried about staying there. Here, they can feel safe,” one Iranian at the club told the Telegraph. The person added that the country's rich make a lot of money from their businesses and then come to Turkey to spend it. This comes amid deadly protests in Iran with citizens demanding that the current administration step down as an economic crisis and corruption mar the country. The Iranian rial dropped beyond 1.4 million per US dollar, revealing the status of the economy.
Iranian doctors claim 16,500 killed in protests
Angry residents want the Khamenei regime to be removed, while the Iranian administration has termed the protesters "traitors" who are "waging war against God." People's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the state’s core military branch, has been opening fire at demonstrators, and is said to be “calmly trying to aim for people’s heads.” Human rights groups say that at least 5,000 people are confirmed dead, although the number could be higher. Iranian doctors compiled data from emergency rooms of various hospitals and revealed that more than 16,500 people have died in the current protests. The Sunday Times reported that they gathered the data and shared it via Starlink, which is banned in the country. The majority of those killed are under the age of 30, with 330,000 injured.
