Iran signals plans for fast trials and executions while promising 'decisive response' to US, Israel

Iranian officials signaled that fast trials and executions lay ahead for suspects detained in nationwide protests while the Islamic Republic promised a "decisive response" if the U.S. or Israel intervene in the domestic unrest. The threats emerged Wednesday as some personnel at a key U.S. military base in Qatar were advised to evacuate following President Donald Trump's escalated warnings of potential military action over the killing of peaceful demonstrators. Mohammad Pakpour is the commander of Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. He reiterated Iranian claims that the U.S. and Israel have instigated the protests but did not provide evidence. That's according to Iran's semiofficial Tasnim news agency.
