Brian Hook, the U.S. State Department’s special envoy to Iran, told reporters on Thursday that the U.S. has credible evidence suggesting that the Islamic Republic of Iran murdered as many as 1,000 unarmed protesters in recent weeks, possibly even more.
The protests were sparked last month over a massive spike in fuel prices imposed by the Iranian government, which is facing an economic crisis after being devastated by crippling U.S. sanctions for violating the Iran nuclear deal.
