Iran’s Execution Machine Is Running at Full Speed

-

  By Struan Stevenson As diplomats debate ceasefires, nuclear agreements and regional security, another crisis is unfolding inside Iran with alarming speed. While global attention remains fixed on war and negotiations, the clerical regime has launched one of its most extensive campaigns of political executions and repression in recent memory. Young protesters, political activists, students and opposition supporters are being sent to the gallows while much of the democratic world remains distracted. The surge in executions should be a matter of grave concern for every civilized nation. Instead, silence prevails as governments hold their breath, waiting for the latest twist in Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again peace initiative and hopes of an end to conflict involving Iran. Meanwhile, Tehran’s rulers are using the cover of international distraction to intensify their campaign of terror against their own people. Between March and early June alone, at least 32 political prisoners were...

Arizona House of Representatives Voices Solidarity with Iran’s Uprising and Resistance

-

 Written by Shamsi Saadati

The State of Arizona’s Legislature issued a legislative proclamation statement supporting the people of Iran who have been protesting for their fundamental rights and freedoms, particularly since September 2022. The statement notes that the Iranian people have been deprived of their fundamental freedoms and have been rejecting monarchic dictatorship and religious tyranny. The statement highlights that the American people support the Iranian people’s desire for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear Republic of Iran. The statement also supports the ten-point plan for the future of Iran presented by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).  



As the sponsor of this statement, Speaker Ben Toma invited the members of the House of Representatives to join him in standing in solidarity with the people of Iran and supporting their aspirations for a democratic and secular republic government that respects human rights and the dignity of all individuals. 

Below is the full text of this proclamation statement, along with Speaker Toma’s remarks.  

State of Arizona legislative proclamation statement to support Iranian people’s quest for a free Iran.  

Whereas as bipartisan members of the state legislature, General Assembly, or General Court in the United States of America, we are writing to support the people of Iran who have been bravely protesting for their fundamental rights and freedoms in recent years, particularly since September 2022. 

Whereas these protests are rooted in the more than four decades of organized resistance against the Iranian dictatorship led by women who have endured torture, sexual and gender-based violence, and death.  

Whereas the Iranian people have been deprived of their fundamental freedoms, so they are rejecting monarchic dictatorship and religious tyranny, as evident in their protest slogans. And whereas the Iranian regime has also arbitrarily and brutally suppressed ethnic and religious minorities, including Iranian Kurds, Baluchis, Arabs, Christians, Jews, Baha’is, Zoroastrians, and even Sunni Muslims, and deprived them of their fundamental human rights and has, in many cases, executed them.  

Whereas the American people support the Iranian people’s desire for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear Republic of Iran. This sympathy has manifested in absolute majority support in the US House of Representatives and the 118th Congress for HR 100, where it noted support for the opposition leader Mrs. Mariam Rajavi’s 10-point plan for the future of Iran, which calls for the universal right to vote, free elections and market economy and advocates gender, religious and ethnic equality. A foreign policy based on peaceful coexistence and a non-nuclear Iran.  

This Jeffersonian platform righteously deserves the backing of every American. Therefore, Speaker Ben Toma invites the members of the House of Representatives to join him in standing in solidarity with the people of Iran and supporting their aspirations for a democratic and secular republic government that respects human rights and the dignity of all individuals. Dated this 26th day of April 2023.  

Representative Ben Toma, Speaker of the House: Thank you all. I had the privilege of joining one of the Free Iran Conferences some years ago in Europe. And to see 100,000 people come to a conference is not a small thing. But I was honored to be there. I was honored to see their passion as they fought for freedom and for human rights. We’re blessed in this country. And they need our support. So thank you all. Thank you.

  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 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...

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 ...
