The clerical regime’s machinery of execution and crime continues its slaughter, driven by fear of the people’s uprising; between 30 September and 13 October 2026, at least 43 prisoners have been victims of the regime’s brutal executions.

On 30 September alone, the regime’s judiciary committed a horrific crime by hanging 19 prisoners. Among the victims was Jaber Khosravi, executed in connection with the death of a State Security Force (SSF) officer in Damghan. Other victims executed that day include Milad Safari, Ebrahim Khazali, Ahmadreza Zivari, and Sadegh Hatami in Tabriz; Jahangir Mahmoudi in Rafsanjan; Hosseinali Baranzehi in Gorgan; Shahram Fazlollah-Tabar and 57-year-old Ashraf Faraji in Sari. The identities of the remaining 10 prisoners were detailed in previous statements by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).

On 3 October, Mostafa Sharifi was executed in Urmia, followed by the hangings of Mahmoud Alishahi and Samad Hojjatpour in Shiraz on 4 October.

On Wednesday, 7 October, five prisoners were sent to the gallows: Ahmad Bazvand in Khorramabad, Ahmad Nikdel in Dezful, Mehdi Alizadeh in Shiraz, one prisoner in Ghezel Hesar, and 28-year-old Abbas Anjom-Rooz in Kerman.

On Sunday, 11 October, eight prisoners were executed: Ayoub Mohammad-Nabil, Masoud Khodayari, and Behnam Mozaffarzadeh in Rasht; Esmail Khalili Baseri in Shiraz; and Mehdi Ranjbaran, 28-year-old Manouchehr Nazari, and 30-year-old Faramarz Akbarpour in Gorgan. Another victim was Danial Jahanian, who was hanged in connection with the death of an SSF lieutenant in Bandar Abbas.

The regime’s judiciary news agency cited charges including “attacking the SSF headquarters in Rask county, attacking the IRGC headquarters in Rask county, attacking the Parood base, and attacking military centers in April 2024 in Chabahar county,” emphasizing that 11 agents had been killed in the attack on the Rask SSF headquarters.
