Iran Executes PMOI Members, Cracks Down on Opposition

0:00It's March 31st. This is Global News Today, powered by AI Your World, in real time. I'm Kori with the story. Iran just executed two men linked to the people's Mohydin organization of Iran, or PMOI, on Tuesday. That brings the total to four in two days after two others got the same fate on Monday. Iran's judiciary confirmed they were convicted for ties to the group and carrying out attacks like firing weapons at a government building. Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the PMOI's political wing based in Paris, verified the news in a statement. She called the men heroes who stood strong under torture, never breaking their commitment. The PMOI, also known as Mujahideen Ikhauk, is banned inside Iran, but remains one of the few opposition groups that can still draw crowds alongside monarchist supporters of the exile Shah's son. This comes a month into Iran's conflict with the United States and Israel.

So far, folks are staying quiet despite harsh warnings against protests. But officials worry the war is hit to the economy could ignite real backlash once the fighting stops.
