Protests Slow
Protests in Iran appeared to slow as tensions with the US eased.
Context
Protests in Iran came to a head earlier this week as the Iranian government reportedly planned to execute protester Erfan Soltani, 26. Trump had previously threatened military intervention if Iran executed protesters, raising fears of a US-Iran confrontation. On Wednesday, Iran temporarily closed its airspace, and the US began evacuating personnel from military bases in the region.
Streets Quiet
Rights group Human Rights Activists in Iran reported that it had confirmed zero new protests on Tuesday and Wednesday for the first time since the unrest began.
