00:00Last night, riot police were deployed on the main square and avenue of the capital to prevent
00:05any possible demonstrations.
00:07Iran has not officially responded to statements by the White House spokesperson, who claimed
00:12that, following threats from the US president, Iran had decided not to execute 800 people
00:17on Thursday morning.
00:19However, some official media outlets have described these claims as ridiculous.
00:23The head of the judiciary reiterated on Thursday that those who committed acts of violence
00:28will be tried as a matter of priority, and under Iranian law, these individuals may be
00:34sentenced to death for moharabeh, which under Sharia law means to wage war against God.
00:39Every day, the authorities announce arrests of individuals presented as members of armed
00:44groups, as well as seizures of weapons in Tehran and other provincial cities.
