EU Warns Airlines Off Iranian Airspace as Crackdown Mutes Protests

Officials tout stability; independent tallies point to mass casualties.

Overview

  • Iranian security sources said 3,000 people tied to the unrest have been arrested, while HRANA reports confirming more than 19,000 detentions.
  • Rights groups reported thousands killed, with Iran Human Rights citing 3,428 deaths and HRANA counting over 2,600.
  • A near‑weeklong cutoff of international internet access has curtailed reporting and coordination, even as visible street protests have ebbed under heavy security.
  • Europe’s aviation regulator advised airlines to avoid Iranian airspace at all altitudes, citing elevated air‑defense alert status and potential U.S. military action.
  • President Donald Trump said Iran “cancelled” planned executions and reiterated warnings, while exiles rallied across European cities and many Iranians fled overland into Turkey.
