Daily Memo: US and Israel Likely to Pause Iran War Until After Elections

Firoozeh Farvardin says the strikes killed 2,362 civilians and deepened repression, while arrests, executions and internet blackouts widened the damage.

  • Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, a senior adviser to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander, stated Iran could "prolong" the conflict with the United States until the American president leaves office.
  • Before U.S. and Israeli strikes began on February 28, prominent Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh warned that the January protests were a "bloodbath," urging international protection under the U.N. Charter.
  • Between February 28 and April 7, U.S. and Israeli airstrikes killed at least 2,362 civilians, including 383 children and 249 women, while internet blackouts cost the economy up to $40 million daily.
  • Amnesty International has documented at least 41 "arbitrarily executed" individuals since bombing began, while government police chief Ahmadreza Radan announced that more than 6,500 "traitors and spies" have been arrested.
  • In an interview with PBS NewsHour on Tuesday, Naqdi claimed the U.S. military "is weaker than what we perceived," asserting Iran has successfully countered American objectives despite ongoing economic and human costs.
