Iran Executes More Anti-Government Protesters

The latest executions bring the total to four in connection with the January protests, which swept across Iran.

The men were sentenced to death for their alleged roles in killing police during the unrest.

Human rights groups and Western governments have condemned the executions as politically motivated and a violation of due process.

The hangings occurred amid heightened tensions between Iran and the West, with the regime seeking to project strength.
