The wave of violent protests that had continued across Iran for the past two weeks has now come to an end, with reports indicating that conditions in various parts of the country are gradually returning to normal. Following the halt in demonstrations, authorities have begun restoring limited public services, although the situation remains partially restricted.
According to reports, international calling services have been restored across Iran, providing some relief to the public. However, internet services remain suspended nationwide, continuing to disrupt digital communication and online activities.
Meanwhile, a US-based human rights organization has claimed that at least 2,403 protesters were killed during the unrest. Iranian authorities have neither confirmed nor officially responded to these figures.
Iranian intelligence officials have stated that raids conducted at multiple locations resulted in the recovery of American-made explosives and weapons, which they described as evidence of foreign-backed sabotage and interference.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned that Iran is fully prepared to respond if the United States attempts any military operation against the country.
He stated that Iran had officially recognized the legitimacy of peaceful protests against inflation and was engaged in discussions to provide relief to demonstrators. However, he alleged that the protests were deliberately turned violent as part of a conspiracy aimed at creating an excuse for foreign military intervention, particularly following remarks by former US President Donald Trump.
Araghchi further claimed that Iran possesses evidence of terrorist operatives receiving instructions from abroad and expressed skepticism over Washington’s willingness to engage in fair and sincere negotiations.
Responding to remarks by the German Chancellor, the Iranian foreign minister said that Berlin is the worst place to lecture others on human rights, adding that Germany remained silent on the alleged abduction of the Venezuelan president and the killing of over 70,000 people in Gaza, which he described as deeply shameful.
