The warning from Ahmad-Reza Radan of Iran's police chief could escalate internal unrest, potentially leading to further instability in Iran and impacting its economic outlook. The ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States in the Middle East creates geopolitical uncertainty, which could affect oil prices and regional investments.
Ahmad-Reza Radan, Iran's national police chief, issued a severe warning on March 10, 2026, stating that protesters supporting Iran's foes would be treated as enemies and face military response. This warning comes amidst fears that mass anti-government rallies, previously cracked down upon in January over economic grievances, could reignite due to the ongoing Middle East war. Iranian authorities acknowledge over 3,000 deaths in past unrest, while the Human Rights Activists in Iran reports more than 7,000 killings and 50,000 arrests. The situation is further complicated by recent strikes launched by the United States and Israel on Iran on February 28, which were met with retaliatory strikes by Iran against Israel and US bases.
