Australia lists Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a State Sponsor of Terrorism
Australia has formally designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a state sponsor of terrorism, marking the first listing under the country’s newly established legal framework targeting foreign state-linked terrorist activity.
The Albanese Government’s decision follows an ASIO assessment that the IRGC orchestrated two antisemitic attacks against Australia’s Jewish community in 2024 — an arson attack on Lewis’ Continental Kitchen in Sydney in October and another on the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne in December. Officials say the attacks were intended to intimidate Jewish Australians and sow division within the nation’s multicultural society.
In response to these findings, Parliament passed the Criminal Code Amendment (State Sponsors of Terrorism) Act 2025, creating a new mechanism that allows Australia for the first time to list foreign state entities involved in terrorism.

Iran’s Hidden Network: Front Companies and Nuclear Clean-Up Operations
The smoke bellowing from Iran’s vast nuclear complex in the Isfahan desert dissipated quickly, but the wreckage left behind by the “Twelve-Day War” remains visible reminder of a battle that, as it seems, did not fully eradicated Tehran’s atomic ambitions. A new investigation published this week by the Financial Times reveals that Iran’s covert procurement arm, Imen Gostar Raman Kish, is still operating aggressively. It even audaciously claimed to have had access to US and British technologies used by Iran’s nuclear program. Meanwhile, satellite images revealed signs of “clean-up” activities at sites tied to Iran’s weapons development. According to the investigation, Imen Gostar Raman Kish functions as a commercial front for the Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research (SPND). The organization is an affiliate of Iran’s ministry of defense and has for long been identified by western intelligence agencies as overseeing Iran’s “nuclear weapons program” prior to 2003.
Pacific Island Office Enabling Sanctions-Busting ‘Shadow Fleets’
Nestled next to a pizza shop in the far-flung Cook Islands is the modest headquarters of one of the fastest-growing shipping registries in the world.
Without ever setting foot in the palm-fringed microstate, foreign ship owners can pay Maritime Cook Islands to sail under its star-studded flag.
United States sanctions data identifies 20 tankers registered in the Cook Islands suspected of smuggling Russian and Iranian fuel between 2024 and 2025.
A further 14 Cook Islands-flagged tankers are blacklisted on a separate database of British sanctions covering the same period.

Health of Fatemeh Ziaii Deteriorates in Evin Prison; Doctors Warn of Life-Threatening Risk
Fatemeh Ziaii, a prominent political prisoner, is facing a critically deteriorating physical condition inside Tehran’s Evin Prison. According to sources close to her family, the continued detention of Ms. Ziaii without access to specialized medical care now poses a serious threat to her life. Before being transferred to Evin Prison, Fatemeh Ziaii was held for 40 days in the NOPO detention facility, a period that passed without even minimum medical attention. During this time, she suffered multiple health crises due to her chronic illnesses, yet security officers repeatedly prevented her transfer to medical centers.

Iran Human Rights Monthly Report — November 2025
The month of November 2025 witnessed a shocking surge in the Iranian regime’s use of capital punishment, reaching at least 336 executions—the highest monthly total in nearly four decades. Among those executed were nine women, and two prisoners were hanged in public, underscoring the regime’s continued reliance on public displays of violence to instill fear and maintain control. This staggering death toll reflects a deliberate policy of state violence, systematically enforced by Iran’s judiciary and security apparatus. This unprecedented wave of executions took place amid a broader context of repression and crisis. The Iranian authorities appear to be responding to mounting internal and external pressures—economic collapse, social unrest, and international condemnation—by escalating punitive measures and silencing dissent.
Iran Could Standardize Mazut Fuel with the Money For 10 Missiles
Esmail Kahrom, a former adviser to the Environmental Protection Organization of Iran’s regime, criticized the regime’s environmental policies and said the government could solve the problem of mazut fuel quality in Iran by redirecting the money it spends on part of its missile production. Kahrom is a well-known environmental expert in Iran. On Sunday, November 30, Kahrom told the state-run Jamarān website: “If people and their health mattered to the officials, each missile that is manufactured costs two million dollars, and with the money for ten missiles we can standardize our mazut. We do not do it because the priorities are something else.”
Khavaran’s Unbroken Memory: Families Defy the Regime’s War on Remembrance
In a powerful act of civil resistance, the families of the 1988 massacre victims transform repression into a renewed political message of defiance. The first Friday of Azar (November 28, 2025) once again carried the weight of a ceremony that has endured for four decades against the regime’s war on memory. The mothers and fathers of the political prisoners massacred in the summer of 1988 made their way toward Khavaran, the restless burial ground that has become one of the most powerful symbols of resistance in contemporary Iranian history. Many still carry the youthful photographs of their children tucked into the inner pocket of a coat or between the pages of a Quran, holding onto them as pieces of their own souls. They came to lay red roses on the unmarked graves of their loved ones and to declare, as every year, “We do not forgive and we do not forget.”
