On January 20, 2024, Salar Velayatmadar, a commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, threatened parents during a live broadcast on the Islamic Republic's News Network, warning that their children would face execution if they disobey the regime. This threat follows a similar warning issued by Hossein Yekta in January 2024, which resulted in thousands of protesters being killed by security forces in various Iranian cities over two days.
