Iran Police Chief Warns of Harsh Crackdown on Future Protests, Cites 'State of War'

Iran's National Police chief, General Ahmad Reza Radan, has declared that any new anti-government protests will be met with a harsh response, labeling potential protesters as 'traitors' and 'enemies' due to the country's 'state of war'. This rhetoric signals an escalation in the regime's posture against domestic dissent, potentially preempting or suppressing future unrest. The statement reflects heightened internal security concerns, though the specific trigger or timing of potential protests remains unclear.
