Iran Focuses on Internal Crackdown Amid Heightened Tensions
Iran's authorities are shifting their attention inward, intensifying security measures following recent conflicts. Reports indicate widespread arrests, executions, and increased military deployments, especially in Kurdish regions facing unrest. Officials and activists confirm that security forces are operating at borders with Iraq, Turkey, and neighboring countries to prevent infiltration by suspected terrorists.
Kurdish insurgent groups based in Iraqi Kurdistan report significant security operations, including house searches, checkpoints, and detention of activists. While some Iranians express anger towards government policies, large-scale protests have yet to materialize.
The Iranian government remains chiefly concerned about internal stability, particularly in ethnically diverse regions, amid fears of unrest linked to recent military actions and external influences.
Human rights groups have recorded hundreds of arrests since the outbreak of conflict, with some reports of Kurdish detainees being executed near the Turkish border.
