The development came as US President Donald Trump said on Thursday (local time) that the United States is closely monitoring Iran as a 'massive fleet' of naval forces moves toward the Gulf region, underscoring rising tensions between Washington and Tehran.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One after attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump described a significant naval deployment that he said was intended to keep pressure on Iran's leadership.

'We're watching Iran,' the president said, adding that the flotilla's presence was meant to act as a deterrent. 'I'd rather not see anything happen, but we're watching them very closely.'

Earlier, Iranian state television has released the first official death toll from the recent anti-government protests that engulfed the country, reporting that 3,117 people were killed during the crackdown, as reported by Al Jazeera.

However, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) has said 4,519 were killed during the wave of demonstrations, including 4,251 protesters, 197 security personnel, 35 people aged under 18 and 38 bystanders who it says were neither protesters nor security personnel.

HRANA also said 9,049 additional deaths were under review, as per Al Jazeera.

The demonstrations, which began in late December with shopkeepers protesting against the flailing currency and the cost of living, snowballed into a widespread anti-government movement, as per Al Jazeera.

The government crackdown was widely condemned, with US President Donald Trump threatening to intervene in support of the protesters. (ANI)
