What are the latest developments in Iran?

Asked 1 hour ago

Answer

Protests in Iran have intensified, with hundreds reported killed and thousands arrested amid a violent crackdown. Authorities threaten executions, but some have been postponed following international pressure. The government blames foreign interference and maintains readiness for negotiation, while the U.S. warns of strong action if executions proceed. Communication blackouts hinder independent verification, and the situation remains tense with no signs of retreat from either side.
