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...

Fearing an uprising by the rebellious Balochis, who have been discriminated, deprived and oppressed by the regime the religious fascism ruling Iran has intensified its systematic repression of the people of this region and has executed more prisoners in this region than other parts of the country.

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), while saluting the rebellious youth of Iranshahr, strongly condemned the brutal attacks on the people of this city and the destruction of the Sunni mosque. She called on the youth to support the people who had come under attack. Mrs. Rajavi added: Through executions and the destruction of mosques and prayer site, the ruling clergies are desperately trying to prevent the uprising and protest of the deprived people of Baluchistan. These criminal acts will only increase the residents’ outrage and hatred towards this regime.

  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...
