Iran's diaspora desperate to hear word from family as communications blackout persists

The communications blackout in Iran has stretched on for a week, making it difficult to get a real-time accurate picture of the deadly crackdown on protesters. Iran's authorities have warned those who participate in the protest face the death penalty, amid reports that the death toll has now hit 2,000. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has urged people in Iran to keep protesting against the leadership, telling them 'help is on its way'.
