Iran threatens protesters with the death penalty as crackdown intensifies.

Iranian authorities have intensified their crackdown on nationwide protests, issuing strong warnings that demonstrators could face the d+ath penalty as unrest continues to spread across the country.

On Friday, officials moved to block internet access in several areas, a measure often used during periods of heightened tension to restrict communication and limit the flow of information. The action comes amid expectations of further protests later in the night.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, speaking through state-run Press TV, said the Islamic Republic would not tolerate what he described as “vandalism” or “people acting as mercenaries for foreign powers.” He accused external forces of fueling the unrest and warned that the state would respond firmly to any acts seen as threatening public order.

Iranian authorities have also cautioned that individuals involved in vi%lent protests could face severe punishment under the law, including the d+ath penalty. The warning has raised concern among rights advocates, who fear it may be used to intimidate protesters and suppress dissent.

The escalating measures underscore rising tensions within Iran as the government seeks to maintain control while public anger continues over unresolved political, economic, and social grievances.
