Iran is set to execute Erfan Soltani, the first protester sentenced to death amid ongoing unrest that has claimed at least 2,500 lives since last month. President Trump warned of “very strong action” if the execution proceeds, while Iranian officials emphasize the need for swift penalties to restore order. Human rights groups report over 18,000 arrests and criticize the regime’s brutal response to protests sparked by rising prices. Despite a communications blackout, information from Iran indicates significant casualties, with officials blaming “terrorists” for the violence.
