Iran: Protesters are 'Enemies of God' – No leniency, authorities warn

Iranian authorities have warned of a further crackdown on anti-government protests that have erupted across the country. The Attorney General labeled the protesters as “enemies of God,” a charge that carries the death penalty. At the same time, hospitals in Tehran are facing an increasing number of injured people. The protests are escalating following a new warning from Donald Trump about possible US intervention. Videos circulating on social media, despite internet access being cut off, show mass demonstrations and clashes. Authorities have arrested hundreds of people, accusing them of terrorism and announcing they will be tried as “enemies of God.”
