Iran has executed three men convicted of killing two police officers during protests earlier this year.

Iranian officials have confirmed that Iran is preparing to retaliate against a recent combined attack by Israel and the United States, promising a “crushing response”.

At least 10 people have died in Iran amid ongoing protests sparked by the country’s struggling economy, authorities reported. Demonstrations have now spread to over 100 locations across 22 provinces, marking the largest unrest since 2022.

Explosions rocked the Iranian cities of Tehran, Isfahan, and Qom early Saturday following Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeting missile storage and launch facilities in central Iran.

The body of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who recently died in a helicopter crash, will soon be transported to the Shiite religious heartland, the city of Qom south of the capital Tehran, News.Az reports citing Press TV.
