Following the recent US and Israeli military strikes, Iran has escalated its internal security measures significantly. The government has initiated a broad crackdown, including mass arrests and executions, primarily targeting those suspected of espionage in favor of Israel. This strict enforcement follows a ceasefire that ended 12 days of armed clashes between Iran and Israel.
Increased Security Presence
Iranian security forces have ramped up their presence across the country. Key developments include:
- Deployment of numerous checkpoints throughout major cities and sensitive regions.
- Special attention to the Kurdish region, where military activity has intensified.
- Reports from human rights organizations indicating more than 700 arrests related to political or security offenses since the conflict’s onset.
Impact of Recent Strikes
The crackdown aims to stabilize the country following damage sustained by critical infrastructure during the US and Israeli airstrikes and drone attacks. Key points include:
- Severe damage to nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
- The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that there have been no radiation leaks.
Political and Nuclear Developments
As tensions remain high, Iran’s parliament recently passed legislation to suspend cooperation with the IAEA. This move reflects ongoing concerns over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and reinforces Tehran’s determination to tighten control internally amid the fragile post-conflict environment.
