Saw this in the news:
Iran’s armed forces have been placed at the highest level of readiness, with hundreds of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and regular army units on full alert in response to perceived threats from the United States and Israel, state media reported.

The alert is part of a broader deterrence posture, with Iran warning that any hostile action would be met with a firm and proportionate response. Widespread anti-government protests triggered by a severe economic downturn and the sharp depreciation of the rial have swept the country for a second week.
A few other news stories have cropped up suggesting that some folks in the security services are siding with protesters - Tu 114's is one such - but the messages are a bit inconsistent at the moment so I'll give it the old 48 hours 'wait and see' on that.
