Iran executed three men who had been arrested during anti-government protests in January, according to a First Squawk tweet citing Iranian state media. The executions mark a escalation in the government's response to the unrest that erupted earlier this year. The three men were among those detained during the January demonstrations, though the tweet did not specify the charges or the date of execution. The move signals that Tehran is continuing to pursue a hard line against dissent even months after the protests subsided. Watch for international reaction and whether the executions trigger renewed demonstrations or affect ongoing diplomatic and nuclear negotiations.
