Iran: Reports of house arrests of officials

Middle Eastern social media accounts are reporting that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has placed three prominent officials under house arrest: Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf (Speaker of Parliament), Masoud Pezeshkian (former presidential candidate), and Abbas Araghchi (former deputy foreign minister). The reports circulating on Twitter include media but lack official confirmation from Iranian authorities or state media. This development comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, with the US-Iran ceasefire recently extended by President Trump. If confirmed, these house arrests would represent a significant internal political move by the IRGC during a period of international pressure.
