Iran’s government has seemingly backed down from a potential US military strike, but the unrest in the country has far from subsided. The Iranian authorities have been trying to convince the Americans to refrain from further violence against their citizens, and to halt the executions that were reportedly going to be carried out for over 800 individuals. The US had been threatening a military strike, but the main reason for this was the diplomatic efforts of Arab allies, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE. Israel may not have supported a US military strike either, despite Trump’s claim that he deserves credit for peace.
In Iran, protests began soon after the violent protests erupted in the country. The Iranian government was trying to maintain its relations with the US through Bahrain. The Iranian leadership admitted that it had been in contact with the US, and that they were trying to resolve the issue through diplomacy. If diplomacy failed, the US would launch a full-scale attack on Iran. The US also gave an open call to the protesters to continue their protests, and to try to take control of different institutions in the country. They claimed that the US would provide air support to the protesters soon.
However, the US’s statement was widely criticized and condemned. The Iranian government has been accused of using excessive force to quell the protests, and the number of dead has been reported to be over 12,000. The protests have been the most violent in Iran’s history, and the government has been accused of using the same tactics that it used to suppress previous protests in 2009, 2017, 2019, and 2022.
The protests began in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, but soon spread to over 25 provinces in the country. The protests were initially peaceful, but quickly turned violent. The protesters have been accused of attacking security forces, and the government has been accused of using excessive force to quell the protests. The protesters have also been accused of burning down mosques and other sacred sites.
The protests have been the result of economic hardships and widespread poverty in the country. The Iranian rial has lost significant value, and the cost of living has become extremely high. The protesters have been demanding better living conditions, jobs, and an end to corruption. The government has been accused of using the protests as an excuse to crack down on dissent and opposition.
The protests have been marked by violence and chaos, and the number of dead has been rising. The government has been accused of using live ammunition and tear gas to disperse the protesters. The protesters have been accused of using Molotov cocktails and other forms of violence to attack the security forces.
The international community has been condemning the government’s actions, and calling for restraint. The US has been accused of encouraging the protests, and the Iranian government has been accused of using the protests as an excuse to crack down on dissent.
