## Resource

The surge in executions in Iran is being driven by a systematic state policy to instill "societal fear" and suppress dissent amid significant internal unrest and external conflict. According to the United Nations and human rights organizations, the escalation has intensified since early 2026 following nationwide protests in January and the outbreak of war in late February.
