Iran Detains Reformist Leaders Following Mass Protest Deaths

Iranian authorities arrested Reformist Front leaders Azar Mansouri and Javad Emam following a January crackdown on protesters that reportedly killed thousands. The arrests and a new seven-year prison sentence for Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi coincide with renewed nuclear negotiations between Donald Trump and Tehran in Oman. The USA deployed the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to the region as Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei missed a major revolution memorial for the first time in decades.
