Overview
- Iran’s judiciary said 26-year-old Erfan Soltani faces charges that do not carry capital punishment and, if convicted, would result in a prison term, confirming he is held in Karaj near Tehran.
- President Donald Trump said he was told the killings had ended and that planned executions would not proceed, while indicating the United States would continue to watch the situation without ruling out military action.
- Rights groups report at least 3,428 protesters killed and over 10,000 arrests since late December, with a near weeklong internet shutdown hindering verification and leaving families abroad unable to reach relatives.
- The UN Security Council is holding a briefing at U.S. request as governments tighten precautions, with the UK temporarily closing its embassy in Tehran and India and Spain urging their nationals to leave.
- Airlines are adjusting routes after Germany’s aviation authority advised against overflying Iran until February 10 and Lufthansa announced it would avoid Iranian and Iraqi airspace until further notice.
