Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a harsh warning to citizens during a broadcast on Iranian state television, threatening severe consequences for anyone perceived as expressing opposition to the government during the ongoing regional conflict.

According to the statement aired on national television in Iran, the IRGC warned that individuals who display hostility toward the regime or appear to support Israel could face immediate punishment. The message used stark language, declaring that anyone on Iranian soil who publicly expresses “enmity” toward the government could be treated as an enemy collaborator.

The warning comes amid heightened tensions following recent military confrontations between Iran and Israel, which have pushed the region into a period of extreme instability. Iranian authorities have increased internal security measures as concerns grow over potential protests, dissent, or civil unrest triggered by the conflict and its economic impact.

Security analysts say the televised warning appears intended to deter domestic opposition while reinforcing the government’s wartime posture. The IRGC, which plays a central role in Iran’s military and internal security structure, has historically been tasked with suppressing dissent and protecting the Islamic Republic’s political system.

Human rights observers have expressed concern that such rhetoric could lead to increased crackdowns on civilians, activists, and political opponents within the country. Iran has previously faced widespread protests over economic conditions, political freedoms, and the government’s handling of international conflicts.

As regional tensions continue to escalate, observers warn that the situation inside Iran could become increasingly volatile, particularly if military confrontation abroad is accompanied by stricter controls and repression at home.
