Iran’s Revolutionary Guards threaten harsher response to future protests

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have warned that any renewed protests in the country will face a harsher response than the crackdown in January, during which thousands were killed.

In a statement, the Guards said: “The evil enemy, failing to achieve its field battle goals, is once again pursuing the instillation of fear and street riots," Caliber.Az reports via Al Jazeera. 

The statement further vowed to deliver “a stronger blow than on January 8” if fresh unrest erupts, signaling the regime’s determination to suppress dissent amid ongoing political tensions.
