 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring.

IRAN INTENSIFIES THREATS AGAINST PROTESTERS AS DEMONSTRATIONS APPROACH TWO WEEKS. (PHOTO).



Iran intensifies threats against protesters as demonstrations approach two weeks


 Iran escalated its warnings against protesters on Saturday, with Attorney General Mohammad Movahedi Azad declaring that anyone taking part in demonstrations would be treated as an “enemy of God,” a charge that carries the death penalty. The comments were broadcast by Iranian state television, amid signs that a broader crackdown may be underway following nearly two weeks of unrest.

Despite government efforts to suppress information, protests across Iran continue to grow, with reports indicating at least 65 people have been killed and more than 2,300 detained. Internet and phone access have been largely cut off, making independent verification difficult. State media have focused on showing pro-government demonstrations and highlighting clashes with security forces, while downplaying the scale of public protests.

In Tehran and other cities, online videos show thousands still on the streets, chanting slogans against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Semi-official outlets, including the Fars news agency and the Young Journalists’ Club, reported casualties among security forces, as well as attacks on government buildings and vehicles. Funeral footage aired on state TV in Qom highlighted public mourning amid the unrest.

Iran’s leadership has signaled continued suppression, while exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has called for demonstrators to continue protests over the weekend, urging the use of national symbols from the pre-revolution era. The unrest began on Dec. 28 over the collapse of the Iranian rial, which has lost significant value amid international sanctions, and has since evolved into widespread opposition to the theocratic government.

Efforts by the United States and other international actors to support Iranian protesters remain limited due to the country’s communication blackout. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed support for the demonstrators, emphasizing international attention on Iran’s response to the growing demonstrations.
