Tehran has so far not followed through on its threats of retaliation against the United States - either by targeting U.S. bases or trying to choke off global oil supplies - but that may not hold.

Speaking in Istanbul, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said his country would consider all possible responses. There would be no return to diplomacy until it had retaliated, he said.

"The U.S. showed they have no respect for international law. They only understand the language of threat and force," he said.

Many fear this is a way to silence dissent and tighten control over the population.

Human rights groups and activists have expressed fears over the latest developments, citing Iran's longstanding practice of extracting forced confessions and conducting unfair trials. There are concerns that more executions may follow.

Iran's Ministry of Intelligence claims it is engaged in a "relentless battle" against what it calls Western and Israeli intelligence networks - including the CIA, Mossad, and MI6.

According to Fars News Agency, which is affiliated with the IRGC, since the beginning of Israel's attack on Iran on 13 June, "the Israeli spy network has become highly active inside the country". Fars reported that over the course of 12 days, Iranian intelligence and security forces arrested "more than 700 individuals linked to this network".

Iranians have told BBC Persian they received warning text messages from Iran's intelligence ministry informing them their phone numbers had appeared on social media pages related to Israel. They were instructed to leave these pages or face prosecution.

The Iranian government has also stepped up pressure on journalists working for Persian-language media outlets abroad, including BBC Persian and the London-based Iran International and Manoto TV.

According to Iran International, the IRGC detained the mother, father, and brother of one of its TV presenters in Tehran to pressure her into resigning over the channel's coverage of the Iran-Israel conflict. The presenter received a phone call from her father - prompted by security agents - urging her to quit and warning of further consequences.

After the conflict began, threats directed at BBC Persian journalists and their families have become increasingly severe. According to the journalists recently affected, Iranian security officials contacting their families have claimed that, in a wartime context, they are justified in targeting family members as hostages. They have also labelled the journalists as "mohareb" — a term meaning 'one who wages war against God' — a charge that, under Iranian law, can carry the death penalty, ‘cuz God, etc…

Few understand what living in Iran is like better than Iranians, who saw their once-promising beacon of democracy and prosperity transformed into an Islamofascist dystopia.
“Since the revolution, it’s become one of the most stagnant economies in the world — thanks to corruption and mismanagement, but also the incredible international isolation as a result of the regime’s foolish international policies, sponsorship of terrorism and pursuit of nuclear weapons.”
“Wait, this thread is about Iran?” Shahrooz described Iran as an apartheid state for women, one that outlaws homosexuality, labour unions and even dog ownership.

Sounds like Israel. It's not a democracy. It's leader is up on corruption charges (Trump made damn sure to let everyone know), several leaders globally sanctioned for inciting terrorism, crimes against humanity and its becoming more and more isolated everyday that goes by.

And you think other countries don't do the same? Why would a country allow media or anyone for that matter to have access to or release confidential information on military matters without consequences? OMG we ARE upside down!!
We don't. That's settled law. It's called "prior restraint," and it's unConstitutional.

225 Journalists shot dead since Oct 7 2023.

It's a new record.

Some of those were probably even journalists too. Why since Oct 7 2023? Something significant there or just a random date? Everything started before (or after, but not on) that date I’ve heard repeatedly from various directions, etc…

I know it’s parody, but I’ve seen something like this:

But it included the Press Vest as an accessory…is there a grain of truth in the parody?

We have nothing holocaust to October 7 holocaustages to hide.

Except Smotrich and Ben-Givr who openly say starvation is the way to go. Children are enemies and food is oxygen for Hamas.


BTW fuck the holocaustages.
