Iran regime maintains crackdown amid decrease in protests

The Iranian regime is intensifying its crackdown on dissent, maintaining internet connectivity at just 1% of normal levels for over 264 hours, while officials warn that demonstrators will be treated as enemies. In addition, dozens have been arrested, including a foreign national, on espionage charges. Experts highlight that the regime’s fear of renewed protests reflects its vulnerability, though many citizens remain cautious in expressing dissent due to the regime’s violent history and ongoing repression.
