Iran protests

Some Iranian military personnel are dissatisfied with the killing of protesters; a member of the IRGC in Tehran says he has resigned.

The executive order detailed that, on top of pre-existing import taxes, an additional tariff will be imposed on goods coming from “any country that directly or indirectly" trades with Iran.

The US urged its citizens to "leave Iran now" due to protests, security measures, and flight disruptions. Dual nationals face the risk of detention, the travel advisory warned.

Vance added that the president had also worked with other nations, some allies of the US and others with more fraught relations, to avoid nuclear proliferation worldwide. 

According to the former official, thugs were employed by the regime to "identify individuals and guide or misdirect street movements."

An Iranian opposition group says top secret files outline a four-stage crisis plan with internet blackouts and orders for IRGC forces to open fire on protesters.

Israelis are divided on Iran, US military aid, and Netanyahu’s role in Trump’s Gaza Board of Peace, according to a new Israel Democracy Institute survey.

Experts stressed that Iran’s Islamic regime has spent decades covertly entrenching itself across the continent, often under the cover of diplomacy, making removal far from straightforward.

The protests, which started in December over economic hardships and quickly turned political, were repressed in the most violent crackdown since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

In a statement posted Monday on social media platform X, the exiled opposition leader called on Iranians abroad and supporters worldwide to gather in major cities.
