Iran’s Execution Frenzy Reveals Paranoia, Not Power
ran is enduring one of the bleakest chapters of state terror in its modern history — a battered nation held hostage by a ruthless theocracy that has made it the undisputed capital of capital punishment on earth.
This year alone, the regime has executed 1,936 people. The bloodshed has only accelerated with the current administration: since Masoud Pezeshkian assumed office, the gallows have claimed 2,638 lives, among them fifty-seven women.
These are not impersonal statistics to be filed away in human rights reports; they are the unmasked visage of a regime in mortal terror of its own people and the organized resistance it can no longer suppress.
This is not routine repression; it is the death rattle of a collapsing theocracy. Driven to paroxysms of violence by economic implosion, cascading protests, and intensifying global pressure, Tehran is broadcasting panic, not strength.
Iran’s Regime Risks Explosion with Gasoline Price Hike
In a desperate bid to cover a catastrophic budget deficit, the Iranian regime has officially launched a draconian three-tier gasoline pricing scheme. As of midnight on Saturday, December 13, the administration of Masoud Pezeshkian began implementing a policy that directly targets the livelihoods of millions of Iranians already crushed under the weight of inflation. According to the new directive, gasoline is now rationed into three price brackets: a subsidized quota of 60 liters per month at 15,000 rials per liter, a second tier of 100 liters at 30,000 rials, and a punitive “free market” rate of 50,000 rials per liter for any consumption beyond these limits. Regime officials openly admit that this decision was driven by the government’s bankruptcy and an unprecedented budget deficit, forcing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to claw at the empty tables of the Iranian people.

Network of Corruption in the Ruling Regime – Part 5
Prisons in the Islamic Republic are not institutions of rehabilitation; they are integral components of the regime’s machinery of structural corruption. As documented in earlier reports, the judiciary’s institutionalized misconduct becomes even more visible inside prisons in the form of forced labor, economic exploitation, drug networks, black-market trading, and the systematic conversion of prisoners into profit-generating assets for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Prisoners’ Cooperative Foundation, and prison security officials. This fifth report demonstrates how institutions legally tasked with ensuring justice instead operate prisons as multilayered economic hubs an arrangement that would not be possible without the direct involvement of the IRGC, the Khatam-al-Anbia Construction Headquarters, the Prisons Organization, and entities under the Office of the Supreme Leader.
