Iran is tightening its grip after a brief war with Israel. The government has executed three more people for alleged spying, making it six in just 12 days. These men were said to be working for Israel's Mossad, but rights groups argue they were just regular workers who didn't get fair trials. The executions happened quickly, even after the war ended. This has people worried about what comes next. The government is also arresting more people, watching online activity, and making new laws to control citizens. It feels like they're trying to scare everyone into obeying.
Many Iranians are afraid. They see the government as just as dangerous as Israel. Some hoped Israel might help them, but others think Israel only cared about stopping Iran's nuclear program. Now, with the world looking away, people fear the government will take out its anger on them. The leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, recently spoke on TV, calling the war a blessing. But many wonder if this "blessing" will bring more suffering for ordinary Iranians. The government has a history of cracking down hard after protests, and people worry this time will be worse. Human rights experts say this is a dangerous time. The government is using fear and control to stay in power. They're watching everyone, making it hard for people to speak out. It's a tough situation, and many fear it will only get worse.
