The death toll in Iran has risen, according to a US-based human rights group, which has been tracking the number of casualties amid widespread anti-regime protests in the country.

At least 544 people have been killed during demonstrations over the past 15 days, including eight children, according to an update from the New Agency of Human Rights Activists (HRANA), the news service of the organization Human Rights Activists in Iran.

The agency also reported that more than 10,681 individuals have also been transferred to prisons after arrest.

Iran has been offline for more than 84 hours after authorities shut down internet access and telephone lines.

The countrywide shutdown of internet access and telephone lines by the authorities has made it difficult to understand the full scale of what is happening on the ground, including the full number of casualties from the massive anti-government protests.

Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guard has condemned US support for the protests, calling it US interference in Iran's internal affairs.

"The recent uprisings and atrocities committed by protesters and armed terrorists across the country, which have led to the martyrdom of hundreds of people and security defenders of our beloved Iran, are in fact an extension of the 12-day war imposed by the United States and the criminal Zionist regime, and a barbaric act of revenge for the historic defeat on that great battlefield," the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement. 

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is seriously considering several options for action against Iran, including military intervention. Trump has been briefed on plans that focus on targeting Iranian security forces used to suppress the protests, but has not yet made a final decision.

The US president said that Iran has sought negotiations and that its main concern remains the killing of civilians.

"Iran's leaders want to negotiate. I think they are tired of being beaten by the United States. Iran wants to negotiate with us," he declared.

However, within the US administration there are fears that military strikes could backfire, uniting the Iranian people around the regime and inciting military retaliation.

“It seems like there are some people being killed who shouldn’t be killed. These are violent, if you call them leaders. I don’t know if their leaders are just those who rule through violence, but we’re looking at it very seriously,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday. “The military is looking at it and we’re looking at some very strong options. We’re going to do it very decisively.”

In addition to military options, the US is considering alternative measures such as cyberattacks, new economic sanctions and technological support for protesters, including providing internet through Starlink.

Trump said he may call Elon Musk, who owns Starlink, after he returns to Washington from Florida.

On the other hand, Iranian authorities have warned that any American intervention will be followed by attacks on US bases and interests.

"If the US takes military action against Iran or the occupied territories, the US military and shipping centers will be considered legitimate targets. We do not limit ourselves to responding after an action has been taken," said Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf.

When asked how the United States would respond if Iran attacked American military bases, Trump said: "We will hit them at levels that have never been hit before."
