Iran's military warning that it will intervene in suppressing ongoing protests in the country has sent a chilling message to demonstrators, who are already bracing for increased repression.
The Iranian army has stated its willingness to join forces with security forces to quash what it describes as "terrorist" activities by protesters. The regime's Revolutionary Guard, which is responsible for internal security, has been leading the crackdown on demonstrations that began in mid-December.
As crowds continue to take to the streets across the Islamic Republic, the threat of military intervention raises concerns about the escalating violence and potential human rights abuses. With the death toll mounting, protesters are becoming increasingly desperate and determined to bring attention to their demands for reform.
The regime's increasing use of force against protesters has been widely condemned by international observers and human rights organizations, who have called on the Iranian government to respect the right to peaceful assembly and free expression.
For now, it remains to be seen how the military will follow through on its threat, but one thing is certain - the situation in Iran continues to deteriorate, with millions of people struggling for their basic rights and freedoms.
