Surveillance and political control in wartime Iran under scrutiny
Original: Eyes on the home front: Surveillance, war and political control in Iran
A new analysis by Dutch think tank Clingendael examines how the Iranian government is expanding domestic surveillance as it navigates war and internal unrest. The report argues that Tehran is using wartime conditions to tighten monitoring of citizens, curb dissent and reinforce political control at home, raising concerns about civil liberties and the treatment of activists, minorities and ordinary Iranians under heightened security.
Why now: Ongoing conflict involving Iran has renewed attention on how the government monitors and restrains its own population.
