Iran plans swift trials and executions for protest detainees amid escalating unrest and international concern.

Iran’s top judge, Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, has signaled plans for rapid trials and executions of protesters detained during widespread unrest, asserting swift justice is crucial for deterrence. His comments, made in a state media video, come amid heightened tensions following a U.S. military strike on Iranian nuclear sites and a warning from President Donald Trump about strong U.S. retaliation. Activists report at least 2,571 deaths during the crackdown, with mass funerals planned in Tehran. Despite international concern, Iran shows no sign of altering its approach, raising alarms over due process and human rights.
