Iran's security council convened amid fears of renewed protests.

Secretary Bessent provided a more graphic description of the IRGC's situation and explicitly stated Iran's oil industry is "starting to shut in production" and that "pumping will soon collapse."
Iran's Supreme National Security Council, led by Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, has issued a specific warning that protests could resume within days, with economic pressure cited as the main trigger.
Iran International reports the Supreme National Security Council was convened after intelligence reports warned of 'unrest in the coming days'.
