IRANIAN LAWYERS WARN: A DEADLY WINDOW IS OPENING Iranian defense lawyers say the regime is preparing for mass executions after recent nationwide protests — once talks with the Trump administration conclude and the risk of U.S. strikes fades. ⚖️ What lawyers are reporting (anonymously, for safety): • Thousands arrested — more than any uprising since 1979 • Charges like “waging war against God” and “corruption on earth” — death penalty offenses • Rushed cases with no due process, no lawyers, some detainees minors • Night raids, forced confessions, undisclosed detention sites • Families threatened: “Ask questions and your child will be executed sooner” ⚠️ Most alarming claim Lawyers say the regime is waiting — if diplomacy lowers the threat of U.S. action, executions could begin on a massive scale. Some report secret executions already underway, disguised as protest deaths. 🇮🇷 Tehran denies it Officials say there is “no plan” for mass hangings. Human-rights groups say this fits a long pattern of denial. 🧠 Bottom line This isn’t just repression — it’s timed repression. What happens after the talks may matter more than the talks themselves. 📌 Source: The Independent / Independent Persian (Feb 6, 2026) — Decode Conflict | Richard Miriti
