Tausende Menschen haben sich in Teheran zu einer Trauerfeier für bei den jüngsten Protesten getötete Sicherheitskräfte versammelt. Das iranische Staatsfernsehen übertrug Bilder der Zeremonie, bei der Fahnen der Islamischen Republik geschwenkt wurden.
In Iran kehrt nach Unruhen langsam Normalität ein, aber die Lage bleibt angespannt.

Overview

  • Monitoring by the Critical Threats Project counted seven protests in six provinces on Tuesday, down from 156 across 27 provinces last Thursday.
  • Human-rights groups report more than 2,500 people killed since the unrest began, and activist sources say over 10,000 have been detained.
  • Tehran’s prosecutor announced plans to seek death sentences against some protesters, with U.S. sources indicating the first execution could be imminent.
  • Iran restored some outbound international calls after days of restrictions, while SpaceX’s Starlink service was offered and was reportedly partly disrupted by authorities.
  • The United States urged its citizens to leave Iran and President Trump warned of a very hard response if executions proceed.
