Iran arrests reformist politicians for alleged US, Israel links.

Iranian authorities have arrested four individuals, including prominent reformist politicians Azar Mansouri, Mohsen Aminzadeh, and Ebhrahim Asgharzadeh, on charges of attempting to disrupt the country’s political and social order during January’s antigovernment protests. The detainees are accused of working for the benefit of Israel and the United States, justifying the actions of protesters labeled as “terrorists” by the government. The arrests come amid anger over thousands of deaths during the protests, with differing figures reported by Iranian officials and human rights organizations. Tensions with the US have escalated, with President Trump threatening new attacks and indirect talks being held in Oman, while Iran’s top military commander warns of regional conflict if attacked.
