  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...

Iran: Strike and Protest of Workers of Ahvaz Steel and Haft Tappeh Sugar Cane Mill and Support of Other Workers

-


Iran Uprising - No. 236
The brave workers of Ahvaz Steel started their thirtieth-two day of strike on Tuesday December 11 with a rally in front of the governorate of the regime in Ahvaz. Many workers had white shrouds on which slogans such as "We stand, we die, we do not accept humiliation" was written. Workers were chanting: Lest we accept humiliation; neither threat, nor prison, they are no longer useful; student, worker, unity; imprisoned worker must be freed; imprisoned student must be freed; neither ruler nor the state, can overcome the worker; neither ruler, nor the state, think about the nation; inflation, high prices, respond Rouhani; our country is a thief house; it's unique in the world; liar Rouhani, where is your claimed key to solve the problems? Our disgrace, our disgrace, our radio and TV.
At the same time, 1,500 seasonal and day-work workers of the Haft Tappeh Sugar Cane Complex gathered in front of the building's administrative office to protest the uncertainty about their job status and false promises of the regime.
Meanwhile, in Tehran, a group of workers gathered in front of the parliament in support of the hard working workers of the Ahvaz Steel National Industrial Group and the Haft Tappeh Sugar Cane workers. They called for the release of detained workers, the striking workers’ job security, and the cutting off the hands of the government's mafia in these industries.
Borujerd municipality workers also protested in front of the regime's governorate in the city against their dire livelihood conditions, and corruption and embezzlement of Alaeddin Boroujerdi, former chairman of the National Security Committee of the regime’s parliament, and his affiliates. Khorasgan disadvantaged farmers in eastern Isfahan are also continuing their sit-ins and are demanding their water right for fall cultivation and addressing their problems.

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...
