Iran Executes 3 for Police Killings

0:00Today is March 19, here's what's making headlines worldwide. Iran executed three men convicted of killing two police officers during protests earlier this year. State media reported the executions happened on Thursday in the holy city of KOM after Iran's Supreme Court upheld the sentences. The men were accused of taking part in violent attacks on January 8, using knives and other weapons against security forces. Officials say these acts led directly to the deaths of the two officers. They face charges of murder and Moharabay, which means wage and war against God. The judiciary claimed the attack supported interests of Israel and the United States. This comes amid nationwide unrest that Iran crushed in its largest crackdown ever. Leaders have blamed foreign powers like Israel and the US for stirring up the protests. Executions like these send a strong signal amid ongoing tensions, as Iran continues to link internal violence to outside interference. This story is shared with support from our sponsor.
