When Students Rise, Tyrants Tremble

By Struan Stevenson Throughout modern history, student uprisings have served as one of the clearest indicators that a regime has entered its final and most dangerous phase. Young people possess a unique capacity to sense political decay long before many others. They see through propaganda, reject hollow promises, and refuse to accept a future stolen by corruption, repression, and incompetence. When students pour onto the streets in large numbers, authoritarian rulers have every reason to fear the consequences. The latest wave of protests sweeping Tehran, Mashhad, and Hamedan should therefore ring alarm bells throughout Iran’s ruling establishment. Thousands of students have risen in defiance of discriminatory educational policies, arbitrary changes to university entrance regulations, and mounting pressures imposed by a regime increasingly detached from the realities facing ordinary citizens. Their demands concern far more than examinations and academic records. These demonstrations r...

UN AMBASSADOR’S RETWEET TOUCHES “SOFT SPOT” FOR IRAN’S REGIME

-
By INU Staff
INU - On its official English Twitter account, The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) posted an excerpt from US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley’s speech, that highlighted the Iranian regime’s human rights violations and referring to the Iranian people’s uprising. Her speech also called for firm action by the international community against the regime.

This tweet followed three days later:
US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley emphasizes how #Iran's "horrendous" regime faced massive protests in the Dec/Jan period. And yet the UN Human Rights Council remained silent.#IranProtests
Iranian media outlets responded in a fashion that may have been coordinated by the Ministry of Intelligence. Insulting remarks were made against Ambassador Haley and senior US officials. It appears that this retweet touched a soft spot for the regime.
They referred to the recent Iranian opposition convention in Paris in which international officials from the U.S. and other countries participated. During that convention, an Iran-sponsored plot to target the PMOI/MEK rally was foiled, resulting in the arrests of their Vienna-based diplomat and operatives in France and Belgium.
The text was prepared by the regime’s Intelligence Ministry. It has been fully or partially posted in several media outlets and contains the following in different wording:
- Ambassador Haley’s retweet shows close relations between the US foreign policy team and the PMOI/MEK
- This “group-let” was considered a terrorist until 2012 and the US supports this entity despite claiming to fight terrorism.
- This “group-let” pays large sums of money to bring politicians to their sessions.
- Previous US administrations refused to establish overt relations with this organization. The Trump administration, however, has violated this law and is vividly supporting this “terrorist group-let.”
It has been proven that the Clinton administration’s blacklisting of the PMOI/MEK during Mohammad Khatami’s tenure in Iran was part of an appeasement policy.
Lies were spread by the regime from 1997 to 2012, about the PMOI/MEK in an attempt to justify allegations with the terrorist designation.
The reality is, the Iranian regime itself is the source of terrorism and threats in the US and Europe.
The PMOI/MEK gained the trust and support of hundreds of international figures. The Iranian regime claimed that these individuals were paid large sums of money. However, the Iranian regime’s tactics are now familiar to all.
A retweet by Ambassador Haley seems to have churned up mayhem among the regime’s leadership. This seems to point to the legitimacy of the alternative to the regime, the PMOI/MEK.

When War Becomes an Excuse: How Economic Pressure Is Being Shifted Onto Ordinary People

  By Reza Hoseani Iran’s economic crisis is no longer just a headline — it has become part of everyday life. Skyrocketing prices, the continuous collapse of the national currency, and shrinking household purchasing power are now affecting nearly every segment of society. But an important question remains: Are these hardships truly the direct result of war and external pressure, or are they rooted in domestic economic policies and political decisions? While state media repeatedly blame regional tensions and foreign conflicts for inflation and market instability, many economists argue that the current crisis is driven far more by internal policymaking than by war itself.   War as a Cover for Internal Economic Failure For years, whenever Iran’s economy entered a deeper phase of crisis, official narratives pointed to external enemies and international tensions. However, economic experts say the immediate impact of war rarely causes inflation on this scale in such a sho...
