UN General Assembly Could Mark a Turning Point on Iran
New York may be The Big Apple – the world’s financial hub and a city that never sleeps – but every September it becomes something else entirely. For one week, the city that defines commerce and culture transforms into the epicenter of global politics, as presidents, prime ministers, and diplomats gather for the UN General Assembly.
Every leader uses the UN’s bully pulpit to advance their national agendas, while countless sideline deliberations focus on pressing global issues. This year, the UN General Assembly (UNGA) offers a unique opportunity to forge consensus on a new policy toward Iran – one of the most acute and pressing challenges facing the international community.
Almost two years after the October 7 attack, with the Iranian regime playing a central role – and following a 12-day war with Israel and the U.S. in June – Tehran shows no sign of abandoning its nuclear program. A more assertive policy on Iran is long overdue.
Iran’s War on the Dead—and the Living Who Remember
She moved slowly along the path to Section 41 of Behesht Zahra, Tehran’s main cemetery—an elderly woman in a slipping headscarf, one hand on a cane, the other clutching a few wilted flowers. Section 41 has been sealed off for years. Beneath its soil lie the bodies of tens of thousands of dissidents executed in the 1980s. From a distance, the woman used to speak to her only daughter, buried there. This time, under a sun that seemed to press the air flat, she found bulldozers: heavy machinery chewing through earth and headstones. The hope that sustained her weekly visits was vanish¬ing before her eyes. Her frail body trembled.
Erasure is a policy. The Iranian state is not only silencing the living; it is trying to efface the dead. To dismantle the ground where families mourn is not a neutral act of redevelopment. It is violence against memory—an assault on the moral record itself. It is, perhaps, a prelude.

PMOI Resistance Units in Zahedan Defy Regime, Reject Both Shah and Mullah Dictatorships
Despite a heavy security presence and the regime’s ongoing repressive measures, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) Resistance Units carried out a bold weekly campaign in Zahedan.

Their actions underscore a popular and organized movement that rejects all forms of dictatorship, from the current religious tyranny to the deposed monarchy of the shah.
Maryam Shahraki Dies in Fardis Prison in Karaj
In the early hours of September 12, 2025, Maryam Shahraki, a female inmate at Fardis Prison in Karaj (also known as Kachouii Prison) died due to lack of proper medical care. She had been imprisoned solely for her inability to repay a debt of 3 billion rials ($30 at current exchange rate). On the night of September 11, Maryam Shahraki experienced severe chest pain and was transferred to the prison’s infirmary. However, the attending doctor and nurse misdiagnosed her symptoms as stomach pain and prescribed only a few painkillers. Without receiving specialized treatment, she was sent back to her ward. Hours later, around 4 a.m. on September 12, she suffered a severe drop in blood pressure and died before being transferred to a hospital. Eyewitnesses say her death could have been prevented had she received immediate and professional medical attention.

U.S. State Department Warns to Hold Tehran Accountable if No Nuclear Deal Is Reached
The U.S. State Department, expressing doubts about the recent agreement between Iran’s regime and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), warned that if no nuclear deal is ultimately reached, Washington will “hold Tehran accountable.” An unnamed U.S. State Department spokesperson said in an interview with Al Arabiya news channel on Friday, September 12, that the United States is waiting for details of the agreement between Tehran and the IAEA to be clarified. The official added that it is essential to reach an agreement under which Iran’s regime abandons its ambition to build nuclear weapons and halts uranium enrichment—an action that would benefit the people of Iran, the region, and the world.
Polish Company Sold Shahed Drone Parts to Iran
According to the local Polish daily Glos Wielkopolski, the Polish company WSK Poznań sold parts to Iran that were used in the production of Shahed-136 suicide drones—drones that were recently employed in Russian attacks against Poland. The case was first exposed by an investigative journalist from Radio Zet, who reported that fuel pumps directly exported from the Polish factory eventually ended up on Iranian drone production lines. According to him, WSK Poznań sold the parts to Iran Motorsazan, a manufacturer of agricultural tractors, which then delivered them to drone factories. The completed drones were later transferred to Russia and used in the war in Ukraine.
Snapback Sanctions Cast a Political Shadow Over Iran Regime’s Supreme Leader Khamenei
The threat of “snapback,” or the automatic reimposition of sanctions, has become one of the gravest nightmares for Iran regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, casting a heavy shadow over his foreign policy apparatus. The regime’s recent agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) once again revealed Tehran’s fragile position and its inability to avoid humiliating concessions. Regime’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi recently attempted to mask Tehran’s vulnerabilities in a televised interview by issuing threats against Europe. He declared that “triggering snapback will eliminate Europe from nuclear negotiations,” a statement widely seen as political theater rather than a serious strategy.
Iran’s Water Crisis Pushes a 7,000-Year Civilization to the Brink
Iran, home to one of the world’s oldest civilizations, is facing a severe collapse rooted in a man-made water crisis. For millennia, its survival in deserts and mountains was sustained through intelligent resource management. Today, however, decades of destructive policies driven by corruption, short-term interests, and the so-called “water mafia” have devastated the nation’s vital resources and endangered its cultural heritage. Lake Urmia, once the largest saltwater lake in the Middle East and a jewel of northwest Iran, has now completely dried up. Recent satellite imagery from NASA shows no trace of water, confirming the lake’s disappearance. Experts attribute this collapse directly to regime mismanagement and reckless decision-making, sacrificing the future for temporary political and economic gains.
Iran’s Secret Land Subsidence Atlas Reveals Alarming National Crisis
The head of Iran’s National Cartography Organization has confirmed the existence of a classified “Atlas of Land Subsidence in Iran,” a report detailing alarming levels of ground sinking across the country. According to officials, some figures are so severe that municipal authorities in Tehran have described them as “terrifying.” Eskandar Seidayi, speaking to Mehr News on August 31, revealed that the highest subsidence rates are recorded in Bahreman Plain in Kerman Province at 31 centimeters, and in certain areas of Tehran at nearly 30 centimeters per year. By comparison, international standards regard subsidence of more than 3 centimeters annually as a critical warning threshold. This means Iran’s sinking land levels are exceeding global danger levels by up to ten times. Experts warn that such figures pose a grave threat to national infrastructure, urban development, and even cultural heritage sites.
