Iran Reports 3,000 Arrests as Europe Urges Flights to Avoid Its Skies and U.S. Signals Pause

Rights monitors cite far higher casualties alongside mass detentions, with the internet still cut.

Overview

  • Iranian security officials told Tasnim that 3,000 people tied to recent unrest are in custody, while HRANA says it has confirmed more than 19,000 arrests.
  • Iran Human Rights reports 3,428 people killed in the crackdown as large street protests have largely subsided under heavy security and an information blackout.
  • The European Union Aviation Safety Agency advised airlines to avoid Iranian airspace at all altitudes due to elevated risks from potential military action and air‑defense activity.
  • At the UN, the U.S. envoy said all options remain on the table; in Washington, President Donald Trump said he was not pressured to halt a strike and claimed Iran canceled planned executions, suggesting no immediate military action.
  • Hardline cleric Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami used a state-broadcast sermon to urge death sentences for detained protesters and to denounce them as agents of foreign enemies.
