Iranian authorities are tightening security measures across Tehran in an effort to prevent renewed anti-establishment protests. Residents report the installation of new checkpoints throughout the capital, including under footbridges and inside tunnels, where people are stopped and searched. The measures follow deadly strikes on security checkpoints earlier this month and come amid fears of further unrest.

Internet access has been heavily restricted since the conflict began, limiting communication and making it harder for protesters to organise. Some tech-savvy residents have turned to satellite-based connections to bypass the blackout, despite the risk of arrest and prison sentences. Authorities have reportedly detained individuals accused of selling unfiltered internet access, while the high cost of black market connections places them out of reach for many.

Officials have also issued mass text warnings cautioning against demonstrations and have organised pro-establishment rallies. Security leaders have warned that anyone taking to the streets will be treated as an enemy rather than a protester. Despite tensions and isolated acts of defiance, there have so far been no signs of mass protests on the scale seen earlier this year.
