Iran’s judiciary expediting trials for protesters crackdown.

Prosecutors in Iran are bringing capital charges of ‘waging war against God’ against rioters and saboteurs arrested during deadly protests, which have led to a wave of arrests and trials being fast-tracked. Supreme Court Chief Justice Mohseni-Ejei emphasized the need for swift punishment for those involved in violence, with some facing charges of moharebeh. The unrest, sparked by economic grievances, has resulted in mass funerals and accusations of foreign involvement, with the US and Israel being blamed. President Trump has warned of potential military action in response to the crackdown on protesters, as the Iranian government faces increasing pressure over its handling of the demonstrations.
