'We are all shocked’ by deal, worry that regime will feel it ‘won,' Iranian source tells 'Post'
Iranian refugees say the deal leaves the regime in power and could shield crackdowns, with sources saying January protests killed about 30,000 people.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced The United States reached an agreement to end the monthslong conflict with Iran, though Iranian refugees warned the deal leaves citizens under control of the brutal regime.
- The January protests resulted in a death toll closer to 30,000, with an Iranian refugee estimating roughly 260 children were killed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, bringing total losses to approximately 50,000.

- Rayan Amiri, founding leader of the Conservative Party, claimed the agreement represents abandonment of the Iranian people, stating, "The U.S. abandoned the Iranian people, that is f-ed up."
- The White House did not respond to requests for comment, marking a shift from Trump's Jan. 13 vow to cancel meetings with Iranian officials until killings stopped.
