Iran Faces a Growing Internal Crisis

  By Chuck Wald We have passed the six-month mark of the war between the United States and the Iranian regime. Whatever Tehran’s rhetoric may suggest, its theocratic dictatorship is weaker today than at any point since its establishment in the aftermath of the 1979 Revolution. As this situation continues to unfold, it is increasingly important for Western governments and the broader international community to consider the policies needed to help bring about change driven not by foreign intervention, but by the Iranian people and their organized resistance.  The country’s economy, already suffering from years of decline before the war, is now exhibiting some of its worst indicators in decades, including inflation exceeding 100 percent on key consumer goods. Predictably, these pressures have intensified factional infighting within the regime. The turmoil has been compounded by the loss of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on the first day of the war, February 28.  Khamenei has be...

IRGC Commander highlights regime’s meddling in region

-
The interference of the Iranian regime in the affairs of the neighboring countries is unobtrusive
To find out more about this, I invite you to read an excellent article by Nikoo Amini



By Nikoo Amini
The head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said that the organization tasked with protecting the regime at all costs, had “organized around 100,000 popular forces” in Syria and Iraq, adding that this and Hezbollah’s “missile capabilities” were just some of the “unrivaled success of the Islamic Revolution”.
In a lengthy interview with the state-run Soroush Magazine, excerpts of which were published by Iranian media, Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari cited Iran’s military measures in neighboring countries and said that the regime’s success in the region could not be put into words and should be “felt” instead.
Jafari said that Iranians were also sent to neighboring countries to “share their experience” with the regime’s forces there.
Recently, the State Department’s special representative on Iran, Brian Hook, once again warned the regime against its involvement in Iraq and Syria.
“Since 1979 they have sought to undermine various states, and they want to replace their national identity with a sectarian identity,” Hook told Alhurra television on March 15, adding that this had created instability in the Middle East and contributed to violence and bloodshed.
EU leaders have also said that despite their opposition to Trump’s decision to leave the nuclear deal, they also believe that the Iranian regime was playing a destructive role in the region.

Iran backed groups losing financial support

Jafari also mentioned Iran’s financial support for its malicious activities in the region adding that Iran did not spend as much as the US in the region. He claimed that Washington spent trillions against what he called “the resistance” in the region.
There were previous reports of Iran spending 4 billion dollars in Syria in support of the country’s dictator, Bashar al-Asad.
With the US led sanctions, which has curbed Iran’s ability to finance its forces in the region, Hezbollah and Hamas are now facing major financial issues.
Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah recently made a desperate televised outcry about “facing financial difficulties” as a result of sanctions against “our backers”, and requested donations.
Hezbollah has been designated as a terrorist organization by the US and Britain.
In Palestine, the Iran backed Hamas organization has raised taxes on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. According to the AP, videos have circulated online showing Hamas forcibly dispersing hundreds of demonstrators who were protesting tax hikes and poverty.

More scenes of -backed Hamas terrorists imposing a severe crackdown on Palestinians protesting poverty, poor living conditions & human rights violations.

My take:
Hamas is not only funded by Tehran's mullahs, they are also trained in every possible manner by the mullahs. pic.twitter.com/9jFY5osv21

International Dignitaries Rally for a New Iran Policy, Support NCRI as Democratic Alternative

  Written by Shamsi Saadati Paris, France  – On Saturday, May 17, 2025, an influential international conference convened in Paris, uniting parliamentarians and prominent political figures from a wide array of countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Malta, Switzerland, Romania, Portugal, and the Netherlands. The central theme of the gathering was the urgent need for a new, decisive international policy towards Iran, with a strong emphasis on supporting democratic change and recognizing the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) as a viable alternative to the current regime. The event served as a significant platform for global lawmakers to voice their concerns over the deteriorating human rights situation in Iran, the regime’s escalating domestic repression, its destabilizing regional activities, and its persistent pursuit of a nuclear program. A recurring call throughout the conference was for Western governments to adopt a firmer stance, including the ...

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...

Intensifying U.S. Economic Pressure: Washington’s New Move Against the Mullahs’ Regime and Its Consequences

-

  By Reza Hoseani Is Washington’s economic fury more effective than military warfare? An examination of the United States’ new sanctions targeting the IRGC’s financial lifelines and their impact on Iran’s explosive social environment. Amid the regime’s paralyzing deadlock between war and restraint, Washington has made its choice unmistakably clear: an all-out economic war instead of a large-scale military war. This choice is not the product of moderation. Rather, it reflects an understanding that economic pressure may be more lethal to the regime, less costly for the West, and more socially acceptable to the Iranian people than military intervention. 1. From “Maximum Pressure” to “Economic Fury”: The IRGC’s Lifelines in the Crosshairs In recent months, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has escalated economic pressure through two new initiatives. First came what has been described as Operation Economic Fury, announced by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. He stated explicitly ...
