Iran is facing one of its most dangerous moments in years as state television labels protesters as “armed terrorists,” a nationwide internet blackout stretches beyond 72 hours, and authorities declare three days of national mourning. Officials have issued chilling warnings that demonstrators could face the death penalty, sparking outrage worldwide.
The crisis is drawing intense international attention. The UN Secretary-General says he is shocked by reports of violence and urges restraint, reminding Tehran that peaceful protest is a protected right under international law.
At the same time, tensions are escalating beyond Iran’s borders. Under President Donald Trump, the United States is signaling a far more aggressive posture — openly discussing sanctions, cyberattacks, and even potential military action.
Iran’s response has been blunt and defiant. Lawmakers warn that any attack would make U.S. military bases and Israel legitimate targets, raising fears that the situation could spiral into a wider regional conflict.
So where does Iran stand now — and how close is this crisis to exploding into open confrontation?
