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...

MEK Resistance Units expand activities in several cities across Iran
Members of Resistance Units, an expanding network of brave and resilient Iranians associated with the opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), are escalating their ongoing campaign of measures aimed at weakening the regime’s crackdown across the country. In recent days, the Resistance Units carried out activities in several cities, including Tehran, Mashhad, Rasht, Sabzevar, and Isfahan.
In Rasht, one of the country’s main northern cities with a large population, anti-regime slogans were aired in public on June 23:
“Death to Khamenei, hail to Rajavi!” respectively referring to regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi.
“Death to Khamenei-Raisi!” another slogan read, referring to the regime supreme leader and regime President Ebrahim Raisi.
“Khomeini be damned!” referring to the regime’s first supreme leader Ruhollah Khomeini.
The slogans also called Raisi as “the butcher of 1988,” referring to the pivotal role he played in the massacre of more than 30,000 political prisoners in 1988.
In Sabzevar, the resistance units aired excerpts from speeches delivered by Mr. Rajavi and Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
In addition to anti-regime slogans, the Resistance Units aired slogans that reflect the Iranian people’s desire to overthrow the mullahs’ rule and not return to the dictatorship of the Shah:
“Neither the Shah nor the turban, the mullahs are running out of time.”
In Bojnurd, the Resistance Units aired anti-regime slogans at a public park on June 10, 2022, including slogans against Khamenei, Raisi, and the mullahs’ rule in its entirety. The Resistance Units called for accountability of the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre and made it clear that Iran’s people don’t want to return to the Shah dictatorship.
On June 12, Resistance Units projected large pictures of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi in Isfahan’s Zayandeh Rud Bus Terminal, one of the crowded parts of the city.
In Tehran, the Resistance Units projected the images of Resistance leaders in Tehran’s Kianshahr district, Azadegan Blvd.
These campaigns coincide with the Resistance Units ramping up their anti-regime activities across the country. In one notable case, the Resistance Units took over thousands of security cameras and servers of Tehran Municipality in May. Regime authorities are still struggling to bring back their systems online and have mostly lost control on their spying and surveillance apparatus.

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 ...

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...
