Iran's authorities warn against protests as Israel threatens Basij forces
"if any Iranians take to the streets at the will of the enemy, then we will not see them as a protester or something else; we will see them as the enemy and do with them what we do with the enemy. All of our guys are ready with their fingers on the triggers to safeguard their revolution, to back their people and country."
"Iranian authorities have warned they will forcefully act against any anti-establishment internal protests as Israel and the United States threatened to further target the paramilitary Basij forces of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have said they want to see the 47-year-old theocratic establishment in Iran overthrown."
Iranian authorities have escalated warnings against internal protests, with Police Chief Ahmad-Reza Radan declaring that demonstrators perceived as acting under US and Israeli influence will be treated as enemies rather than protesters. Security forces, including police and paramilitary Basij units, maintain heightened street presence and armed checkpoints throughout Tehran and other cities. This hardline stance follows recent nationwide protests that resulted in thousands of deaths, which Iranian authorities attributed to foreign-backed terrorism. The US and Israel have publicly called for regime change in Iran, urging citizens to prepare for potential upheaval. International organizations condemned the previous crackdown on peaceful protesters and the internet shutdown that accompanied it.
