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...

The Italian Senate unanimously approved a resolution related to supporting the Iranian uprising

-

 The Italian Senate unanimously approved a resolution related to the Iranian uprising and the clerical regime’s violation of human rights and women’s rights.

The resolution states that men and women in Iran have resolutely fought for freedom, democracy, and respect for human rights for decades, and despite the repression, torture, and execution of thousands of political prisoners, the regime has not been able to stop the resistance of citizens who demand freedom, democracy, and respect for human rights and have taken risks with their lives.



Security forces, IRGC, Basij, police forces, and riot police used bullets, tear gas, and batons to suppress the protests.

In solidarity with Iranian women and the many young men who are courageously protesting, the resolution reaffirms its full support for the Iranian people’s aspirations for democracy, human rights, and fundamental freedoms.

The decision obliges the Italian government to put pressure on the Iranian regime directly and in multilateral forums to end repression and violence against women, demonstrators, and ethnic and religious minorities, disrupt the internet, prevent further executions, and release arrested protesters.

The resolution calls on the government to actively monitor the export of arms and ammunition to countries neighboring Iran, in order to avoid the risk of Italian companies being involved, albeit indirectly, in supporting the repressive action.

Senator Giulio Terzi, Chairman of the European Union Policy Committee, said in his speech while approving this resolution that Khomeinism is the Shiite model of ISIS, with the difference that it is a government that creates the illusion that it is reformable.

Senator Terzi: Rouhani, this great “reformer,” did most of the killing and executions, but we made a deal with him, sent delegations, and encouraged Europe to do the same. Not only do the IRGC commit crimes in Iran, but they also kill Ukrainians. Let’s not pretend we don’t know this, we know it well. In this room there were colleagues with me four years ago at the National Council of Resistance conference in Wellpent, we were subjected to a horrific act of terrorism. A regime diplomat was arrested at the regime’s embassy in Vienna, Assadullah Asadi. He intended to commit a crime similar to the destruction of the Twin Towers of America.

Today, they want to return Assadullah Asadi, who is sentenced to 20 years in prison, to Iran and exchange him with innocent people. He was at the head of a terrorist network of regime elements, and in this regard, he made 180 trips to European countries in two years.


Do we want these terrorists to roam freely in Europe and Italy and continue killing politicians and opponents? It is enough to fall into the trap that the regime is fixable and negotiable.

Yes, but speaking with freedom-loving forces, with excellent and very brave youth and intellectuals, with an organization led by Mrs. Rajavi, the organization that has the largest number of supporters inside Iran

If we go and visit their places in Albania, they have a museum in memory of their martyrs, where 30 thousand martyrs of the People’s Mujahideen were hanged in prisons in 1988, most of them were the People’s Mujahideen who were executed by the death committee established by Khomeini’s fatwa.

Do you know who was on this death commission? I think many people know that the current president of the regime is Ibrahim Raisi. We should not be delusional about this regime, the international community must take strong action.

Senator Terzi, on behalf of himself and his party, once again demanded that the IRGC be classified as a terrorist entity

Conference in the Italian Senate: Members of the Italian Senate and Parliament support the Iranian people’s uprising.

  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 ...
