Iran Nears First Execution Amidst Anti-Regime Protests; US Warns of Strong Action

Iran is reportedly preparing to execute its first protester, Erfan Soltani, arrested during recent anti-regime demonstrations. The 26-year-old faces execution for 'waging war against God' after being denied legal counsel. Widespread protests, sparked by economic issues, have led to thousands of arrests and hundreds of deaths. U.S. President Donald Trump has encouraged protesters and warned Iran of strong action if the executions proceed, while a nationwide internet blackout complicates verification of events.
