Rights groups reported Iran executed five political prisoners at Ghezel Hesar Prison. Reports warn of escalating executions of political detainees as the regime intensifies its wartime crackdown. This isn't a one-time event—it's part of a pattern of rising executions.
Regimes often use wartime as cover for accelerated domestic repression. Political prisoners become invisible when attention is on external conflict. Iran is using the US escalation as justification for tightening internal control and removing dissidents. The spike in executions signals the government is worried about internal instability or dissent during conflict and is responding with force. Wartime crackdowns typically get worse, not better, as the conflict continues.
