US Senate Briefing, “Iran: Towards Peace and Freedom”
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi’s speech: “Today, more than ever, a fundamental question is before us:
What is the real solution to Iran’s crisis? Over the past 47 years, nearly every approach has been tested. These have included policies of appeasement, Europe’s so-called “critical dialogue, negotiations, and even war. Yet all have failed because the regime would lose its power if it were to accept any reform.
“The regime is weaker than ever before, but its nature remains unchanged. It will neither revise its policy of repression nor abandon its efforts to obtain a nuclear weapon, support terrorist proxies, and interfere in the affairs of the countries in the region. Since March 19, at least 13 political executions have taken place in Iran, including six PMOI members and seven defiant protesters. They were all accused of working to overthrow the regime. Through these executions, the regime is intensifying an atmosphere of terror in an effort to prevent another uprising.”
The Regime’s “Nightmare”: BFM TV Spotlights the Expanding Activities of PMOI Resistance Units Inside Iran
On April 8, 2026, a 15-day ceasefire temporarily halted a devastating 39-day regional war. While the conflict dealt severe blows to the Iranian regime, it has become unequivocally clear that external military intervention is not a viable strategy for liberating Iran.

The real war is being waged inside Iran, between the arisen population and a decaying religious tyranny. Highlighting this internal battlefield, France’s BFM TV recently broadcast a special segment revealing the highly organized, clandestine activities of the PMOI Resistance Units fighting on the ground.
Silent Gallows: Iran’s Executions Under the Cover of War
In early April 2026, a disturbing pattern re-emerged inside Iran’s prison system—one that human rights advocates have described as “political executions carried out in silence.” These were not individuals accused of espionage or foreign collaboration. Their defining act was a commitment to freedom and a refusal to submit to authoritarian rule. They represented a third path—rejecting both foreign military intervention and domestic tyranny. At a time when Iran stands at the intersection of escalating global tensions and deep internal repression, these individuals chose resistance. Their deaths are not isolated incidents; they are part of a broader strategy designed to eliminate dissent when the world is least attentive.
History often reveals its sharpest truths in moments of extreme pressure. In recent days, as the region has been overshadowed by the threat of war and military escalation, another, quieter struggle has unfolded inside Iran. Not on conventional battlefields, but in prison cells and execution chambers, where individuals have been put to death for standing by their beliefs.
The Illusion of Restoration: Why Iran’s Monarchical Project Has No Future
In recent months, a notable shift has emerged in how international observers and major global media outlets interpret the prospect of restoring monarchy in Iran. What was once framed by its proponents as a plausible political alternative is now widely regarded as a relic of the past—an idea fundamentally at odds with historical realities, political legitimacy, and contemporary geopolitical dynamics. This reassessment is not rooted in partisan alignment but in a convergence of historical memory, strategic miscalculations, and the evolving aspirations of Iranian society. The notion that monarchy could reassert itself as a governing model in Iran is increasingly viewed not merely as unlikely, but as structurally untenable.
One of the most significant barriers to any monarchical restoration lies in the enduring weight of its historical record. Attempts by certain factions to romanticize the Pahlavi era have found limited resonance beyond niche circles. International media, particularly those grounded in liberal democratic frameworks, have instead emphasized the authoritarian underpinnings of hereditary rule in Iran.
Disconnected Nation: How Internet Shutdowns Are Strangling Iran’s Economy
Despite a temporary halt in military tensions involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, widespread internet restrictions inside Iran remain firmly in place. While officials have announced limited restoration of international connectivity for select businesses under strict conditions, there is still no clear timeline for the return of public access. The result is a prolonged state of digital paralysis—one that is rapidly evolving into a full-scale economic crisis. According to statements by the head of Iran’s Information and Communications Technology Guild Organization, limited access has been granted to a narrow segment of businesses. However, even this partial reopening comes with heavy restrictions and uncertainty. Authorities continue to frame the situation as a matter of “special wartime conditions,” signaling that security considerations—not economic urgency—are driving decision-making.
Iran’s Economy Under Pressure from War and Internet Shutdowns
As the true dimensions of Iran’s economic crisis become more evident each day, regime officials are acknowledging the heavy damage caused by war as well as the widespread losses resulting from domestic policies.
The government spokesperson announced that the preliminary estimate of war-related damage is about $270 billion.
He stressed that this figure is not yet final and may increase. According to him, one of the key issues being pursued by the Iranian regime’s negotiating team in international talks, including the negotiations held in Islamabad, is securing war reparations.
The regime official added that the assessment of damages is being carried out at multiple levels and, based on current reviews, U.S. and Israeli attacks have inflicted such losses on Iran’s economy.
The Human Cost of Iran’s Economy: Stories Behind the Numbers
Iran’s deepening economic crisis is no longer just about inflation and statistics—it’s about the human cost reshaping everyday life.
Behind every inflation rate and poverty figure in Iran, there is a quieter reality: families cutting meals, workers losing stability, and a middle class slowly slipping away. The human cost of Iran’s economy is no longer abstract. It shows up in everyday decisions—what to buy, what to skip, and how long a household can hold on. “We don’t think about saving anymore,” one resident said. “We just try to get through the month.”
A key challenge remains the widening gap between wages and the cost of living. Inflation in Iran has remained above 40 percent in recent years, contributing to a steady decline in real household income.
Paris Exhibition Condemns Executions, Rejects Shah and Mullah Rule, Calls for a Democratic Republic in Iran
Paris, France – April 14–15, 2026 – A book stall and photo exhibition by the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) was held in Paris, honoring martyred political prisoners affiliated with the organization who were recently executed by the Iranian regime, as well as the fallen protesters of the January 2026 uprising and other nationwide protests.
MEK Supporters in Gothenburg Mark 115 Weeks of “No to Execution Tuesdays”
