‘It’s All Over’: How Iran Abandoned Assad to His Fate Days Before Fall
During Syria’s civil war, which erupted in 2011 following the government’s brutal repression of pro-democracy protests, Iran was one of Damascus’s biggest backers, sending Assad military advisers and forces from its Revolutionary Guards.
Iranian and allied regional fighters — mainly from Lebanon’s Hezbollah, but also from Iraq and Afghanistan — had held key locations and helped prop up Assad, only to melt away in the face of Islamist-led forces’ headlong rush towards the capital.
Syrian officers and soldiers served under the Iranian Guards, whose influence grew during the conflict as Assad’s power waned.
A former Syrian officer assigned to one of the Guards’ security headquarters in Damascus said that on December 5 last year, his Iranian superior summoned him to an operations centre in the Mazzeh district the following day to discuss an “important matter”.

Lakan Prison in Rasht: Alarming Health Deterioration of Three Political Prisoners
Reports from Lakan Prison in Rasht indicate a serious decline in the health of three political prisoners—Manouchehr Fallah, Peyman Farahavar, and Yaghoub Derakhshan. According to informed sources inside the prison, all three prisoners are experiencing escalating pain and worsening medical symptoms. Despite repeated warnings from fellow inmates and medical staff, authorities continue to prevent their transfer to specialized medical centers, reflecting a systematic pattern of medical neglect targeting political detainees. According to multiple accounts, Manouchehr Fallah suffers from severe and persistent stomach pain that wakes him at night and disrupts his daily functioning. Although he has repeatedly sought help from the prison infirmary, the facility lacks the equipment necessary to diagnose or treat his condition. Prison doctors have stated that diagnostic procedures—such as endoscopy—can only be carried out in a hospital outside the prison.
Study Reveals Over 70% of Iranian Students Abroad Have No Plans to Return
In recent days, social media platforms have been filled with striking images showing groups of high-achieving graduates from prominent Iranian universities—such as the University of Tehran, Sharif University of Technology, Amir Kabir University of Technology, and various medical sciences universities—standing together in airports in Europe, the United States, Canada, and Turkey. They appear in graduation gowns, holding their diplomas, with signs behind them reading “Welcome to Canada” or “Welcome to Germany.” Each of these images is more than a collective “selfie.” They document an ongoing national phenomenon that has spanned decades and is now accelerating at an unprecedented pace: a sustained and organized migration of Iranian professionals and high-skilled individuals.
Message by Imprisoned Iranian Student Ehsan Faridi: Freedom cannot be imposed from outside
Ehsan Faridi, a twenty-two-year-old student of Manufacturing Engineering at the Technical Faculty of the University of Tabriz — who has been sentenced to death on charges of “waging war against God” and “corruption on earth” — called on students to stand firm and resist in a statement issued from Tabriz Central Prison on the occasion of Student Day.

In this statement, which was released today, December 7, coinciding with Student Day, Faridi honored the memory of the victims of December 7, 1953 — the day three students were killed by security forces under the monarchy during protests at the University of Tehran — and wrote:
Iran Regime’s Covert Networks in Chad Exposed: A New Chapter in African Destabilization
Arrests in Chad reveal Tehran’s structured operations to recruit, train, and manipulate African actors to target Western interests. Recent arrests in Chad have uncovered two networks linked to the Iran regime, exposing a broader strategy by Tehran to expand its influence and destabilize African nations.
