Iran Protests and Death Penalty Threats Against Trump 2026
Iran's uneasy calm is shattered by a senior cleric's call for the death penalty for protesters and threats against U.S. President Trump in a recent sermon.
A fragile silence has fallen over Iran, but it's a calm before a potential storm. After a violent crackdown suppressed widespread protests, the regime's rhetoric is taking an even darker turn.
Senior Cleric Calls for Executions
According to reports, a senior cleric has demanded the death penalty for demonstrators currently in detention. During his Friday sermon, he characterized the protesters as enemies of the state, signaling that the government doesn't intend to offer any leniency despite international pressure.
Direct Threats to President Trump
The inflammatory sermon didn't stop at domestic issues. The cleric also issued direct threats against U.S. President Trump, further escalating the war of words between Washington and Tehran. Analysts suggest this move aims to deflect blame for internal unrest onto foreign interference.
