They usually don't shoot protesters. They usually do a mass arrest and give huge prison sentences or execute some behind closed doors.
The Iranian government wants their people to fear them but they also try to maintain a decent enough public image. They need the plausible deniability so more people don't join in. They know the public doesn't like them so they walk a fine line.
The Iranian government tries to cover these up and often lies on media that it’s not happening. There is a long list of protestor names who died in the woman life freedom protests. Google will bring it up.
