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...

After the injury of four youths by the police forces by being run over by a car, people gathered in front of the hospital and the condition of the injured was reported to be critical.
Following the popular protests, the repressive forces of the Mullahs’ regime started oppressing the people and shooting at them.
Since the youth use motorcycles to write slogans against the regime and burn government banners at night, the repressive forces apply undeclared martial law during the night and consider every motorcycle rider as an enemy and treat them with violence. Or they shoot at them.
This also indicates that they are very afraid of protesting young people and they do not want their actions to lead to mass protests again, which will threaten their existence.
Protests and clashes in Balochistan indicate the deadlock of the regime in suppressing popular uprisings.
The fact is that Iran is living in a very critical political, economic, and social situation.
Politically, the regime continues its religious dictatorship and does not have the ability to give freedom to the people, and is facing increasing protests.
In terms of international relations, it is stuck due to the impasse in the resolution of the nuclear deal and the continuation of developments and interventionist dreams in the region.
Economically, the regime of the mullahs is not able to solve the problems of the people, the skyrocketing prices, extreme inflation, unemployment, poverty, and corruption are driving the society towards destruction.
This is also the product of mismanagement and astronomical thieves of the authorities and spending the country’s budget on repression and terrorism.
In terms of internal disputes and conflicts at the top of power and their escalation between different factions, it is in a chaotic state.
In such a situation, Khamenei sees no other way than repression to keep himself in power Of course, due to the successive nationwide uprisings in Iran, which weakened his regime several times, he is trying to carry out the repression in a way that does not lead to wider protests and uprisings.
But this is simply not possible and this indicates the impasse of the regime whose life has come to an end. Because Iranian society is in an explosive situation. Khamenei is sitting on a barrel of gunpowder and with the smallest mistake and stupidity on the part of his regime, a small spark may cause this gunpowder barrel to explode.
These protests started one day with the increase in the price of eggs, one day with the increase in gasoline prices, and one day with the violence against an innocent Iranian girl by the repressive forces of the regime, the protests spread all over Iran.
Tomorrow, it is not known how these protests will flare up again.
The activities of defiant youth and resistance units have kept alive the flame of uprising and protest, and this promises a ground for starting another phase of stronger protests, which will be very different from the past and will be decisive, and the officials and analysts of the regime are also in this. The context always warns.
Yes, religious fascism has reached the end of the line and no obstacle will be able to withstand the flood of social founders.

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 ...
Author:Zolal Habibi March 7, 2021— A global online conference held on Monday, March 8, marking International Women’s Day co-hosted by the Women’s Committee of the Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), The International Committee for a Democratic Iran, and the British Committee for Iran Freedom discussed the plight of Iranian women in their struggle for freedom and equal rights. The event featured speeches by politicians, women’s rights activists, and members of the Iranian opposition. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the NCRI and the keynote speaker of the event. “The outcome of the significant gender gap in Iran is the imposition of extreme poverty on women and the denial of many of their most basic rights,” Madam Rajavi said. “The misogynous regime wants to preserve its rule through repression. However, Iranian women play critical roles in challenging the regime and pushing the situation towards overthrowing the mullahs.” Madam ...
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...
