| JPost.com - The Jerusalem Post - | IRAN'S LATEST EXECUTION WAVE IS A WARNING THE WORLD CAN'T IGNORE - OPINION | just now |
In the weeks following U.S. missile strikes on Iranian targets, Iran’s regime has reportedly increased the number of executions carried out by its security forces, according to a report from Iran Human Rights (IHR).
IHR warns that the spike in executions is a direct reaction to the U.S. strikes, marking a new phase of intensified crack‑downs on dissent. The organization labels the trend as a stark warning to the international community that Iran is expanding its use of the death penalty.
Iran has a long history of using capital punishment against political opponents, and the recent U.S. military action has heightened tensions, prompting the regime to respond with harsher punitive measures.
