Iran is reportedly set to execute its first protester linked to mass arrests over the widespread anti-regime demonstrations. More than 500 people were also killed in the crackdown.
In public, Iranian officials have been defiant, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying "we are completely prepared" for war and the country's parliament speaker, Baqer Qalibaf, threatening to "discipline" Trump.
Members of Congress are openly encouraging President Trump to intervene in Iran as the death toll rises amid the Shia regime's brutal crackdown on protesters.
