SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — Iranian security forces have stepped up their presence across Tehran and other major cities, deploying motorcycle patrols and checkpoints as authorities brace for potential widespread unrest, sources inside the country told Fox News Digital.
The tactical surge—involving the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Basij militia, and local law enforcement—coincides with a wave of renewed university protests. At Tehran’s Allameh Tabataba’i University, students demonstrated against mandatory hijab rules, political repression, and surging tuition costs, chanting slogans against state morality police before being confronted by Basij members.
In addition to static force positioning at major city squares during Iran’s annual “Sacred Defense Week,” security personnel have been actively stopping pedestrians to inspect personal belongings and search mobile phones for “anti-regime” content. The actions follow opposition reports alleging authorities placed all military and security branches on a “100%” state of readiness, though Fox News Digital has not independently verified total deployment figures.
