Iranian shopkeeper faces possible execution as protest crackdown widens despite Trump warning

A 26-year-old Iranian shopkeeper, Erfan Soltani, reportedly received a death sentence and could be executed amid the crackdown on protests, according to Hengaw; his family says he was not a political activist. The case comes as Iran's authorities deny details amid a nationwide internet blackout, with rights groups warning thousands have been detained and some fear executions for many detainees, despite President Trump's warning that the U.S. would take action if protesters are hanged.
