Iran Using Desert Sites to Test Nuclear Weapons Components in Rush to Bomb: Resistance Group
An Iranian resistance group said Tuesday that the Iranian regime is using clandestine desert sites to test nuclear weapons components in a “dash” to develop a bomb as President Trump expresses frustration with negotiations. The National Council of Resistance of Iran said in a press conference that the Islamic Regime is rushing to develop a nuclear weapon under a covert nuclear weapons project called the Kavir Plan with several secret sites in a largely desert province west of the Iranian capital of Tehran.
From Fuel to Freedom: Iranian Truckers Lead Wave of Labor Strikes in Islamic Republic
While global attention has remained fixed on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the threat they pose to international peace, a nationwide strike by tens of thousands of Iranian truck drivers — launched around May 21, 2025 — has signaled deeper unrest brewing inside the country. Far from faltering under the weight of violent reprisals, judicial intimidation, and empty promises from the clerical regime, the protests swelled, spreading to 140 cities across 30 provinces and inspiring solidarity across diverse sectors. This burgeoning unrest, now encompassing bakers, retirees, teachers, oil workers, nurses, women, and activists, signals a profound challenge to the Islamic Republic’s authority. With its echoes of past uprisings and its potential to galvanize a broader pro-democracy movement, the current wave of labor protests demands urgent international attention and support to amplify the Iranian people’s aspirations for a free and representative government.

Satellite Photos Reveal Iran’s New ‘Desert Plan’ Nuke Program With Underground Blast Sites, Vanishing Roads & AI Drones
CHILLING new details of Iran’s secret project to develop powerful nuclear warheads for missiles capable of firing over 2,000 miles have been revealed.
Satellite images and new information about the clandestine programme – codenamed the “Desert Plan” – have been uncovered by Iranian resistance networks. They warned that the tyrannical regime’s dash to obtain deadly nukes had “intensified”.
Seven hidden sites in the Semnan province of northern Iran have been identified including an underground base used for nuclear explosion tests. In a bid to keep the programme under wraps, regime leaders have even deleted roads leading to bases from official maps.

More Iranian Ships Inbound with Ballistic Missile Propellant
Iran is reportedly procuring a further consignment of sodium perchlorate from Chinese manufacturers, as feedstock to produce ammonium perchlorate used to fuel Iran’s solid-fueled ballistic missiles, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper was unspecific about the source of the information, other than it was provided by “officials” in Washington – which does not necessarily mean that the leak originated from US government sources.
Sodium perchlorate when further refined in Iran into ammonium perchlorate makes up 70 percent of the standard fuel load of most of Iran’s solid-fueled ballistic missiles. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) inventory of solid fuel ballistic missiles contains both longer range missiles such as the Khybar-Shikan and Fattah, used in Iran’s True Promise attacks against Israel. But it also includes shorter range missiles such as Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar systems exported to Russia for its war on Ukraine.
U.S. Smuggling Trial Sheds Light on Iranian Arms Trafficking
In a jury trial at the United States Federal Courthouse in Richmond (Virginia), the Pakistani captain of a dhow has been found guilty of a series of charges related to the supply of advanced conventional weaponry to Houthi rebels in Yemen, and of providing material support to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Muhammad Pahlawan was also found guilty of threatening his own crew in an attempt to confuse the naval boarding party that intercepted his dhow.
The interception was carried out in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Somalia on January 11, 2024, and was executed by US Navy and Coast Guard personnel from the USS Lewis B. Puller (ESB-3). Two SEALS who were part of the boarding party lost their lives when the captain of the dhow attempted to carry out evasive maneuvers.

In Panicked Speech, Senior Cleric Reveals Regime’s Fear of PMOI’s Resistance Units
In a stunning admission that peels back the Iranian regime’s facade of control, a senior cleric has publicly confirmed the effectiveness and organizational capacity of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK)’s Resistance Units. During a speech riddled with fear and paranoia, Ahmad Khatami, a member of the powerful Assembly of Experts and Guardian Council, inadvertently detailed the tactics of the resistance network, revealing the regime’s profound anxiety over a “swift overthrow” orchestrated from within.
His remarks, delivered to a group of Basij paramilitary members in Varamin on June 5, represent a dramatic departure from the regime’s long-standing narrative that dismisses internal dissent as sporadic, unorganized rioting. Instead, Khatami’s words paint a picture of a theocracy haunted by a disciplined and effective opposition network that is fully organized and is successfully breaking the climate of fear.
Political Prisoner Shiva Esmaeli Denied Contact with Her Imprisoned Sons
In a continued campaign of intensified pressure on political prisoners in Iran, political prisoner Shiva Esmaeli, held in the women’s ward of Evin Prison, has been denied the right to make phone calls to her sons by direct order of the prison warden. This punitive measure comes in response to her support for the protest campaign “No to Executions Tuesdays.”
Ms. Esmaeli’s two sons, Seyed Mehdi and Seyed Alireza Vafaee Sani, are also incarcerated in Evin Prison’s Ward 8 due to their political activities. Seyed Mehdi is serving a six-year sentence, while Seyed Alireza is serving five years. In addition to enduring her prison sentence, Shiva Esmaeili is now deprived of one of her most basic human rights — contact with her children.
Masoumeh Karbakhsh Executed in Shahab Prison, Kerman
In the early hours of Sunday, June 1, 2025, Masoumeh Karbakhsh, a prisoner convicted of drug-related charges, was executed in Shahab Prison in Kerman. Masoumeh Karbakhsh, 39, was married and the mother of two daughters, aged 7 and 14. She was arrested four years ago and, following judicial proceedings, was sentenced to death on drug-related charges. With the execution of Masoumeh Karbakhsh, the number of women executed in Iran in 2025 has risen to 21.
Iran holds the grim record for the highest number of women executed globally. According to data compiled by the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), at least 284 women have been executed in Iran since 2007. Many of the women executed by the Iranian regime are themselves victims of domestic violence and discriminatory family laws. A significant number have acted in self-defense.

Unauthorized Bank Profits in Iran and Massive Losses
The drop in currency and gold prices since mid-April, coupled with high volatility in cryptocurrency markets and an inflation rate that Iran’s Statistical Center has announced to be over 39%, has once again drawn the attention of depositors—both large and small—toward bank deposits as a risk-free investment option.
Amid this, the fierce and troubling competition among banks to attract public deposits by promising interest rates above the legal limit has raised concerns about how these banks will fund and sustain such payouts in the future. Opening large deposits with high interest rates not only violates the Central Bank’s regulations but also comes at the cost of massive losses for the already loss-ridden banks in the country.
Millions of Iranians Living Below the Poverty Line
The expansion of poverty under Iran’s regime in recent years has become a serious concern. Official statistics present a catastrophic picture of poverty in the country, although these figures are often manipulated to understate the reality.
According to a report by the Research Center of the regime’s parliament, the poverty rate has remained around 30% between 2019 and 2024. This means that approximately 25 to 26 million people in Iran live below the poverty line. However, unofficial and international sources estimate that as much as 80% of the Iranian population faces this challenge.
The Research Center reported a rise in the poverty rate to 30.1% in 2023. Salam Sattoudeh, a member of the regime’s parliament, also stated in early 2025 that about 25 million people live below the official poverty line. This figure is alarming and on the rise.
Iranian Regime Close to Building Nuclear Bomb
As nuclear negotiations between the Iranian regime and the United States reach critical moments, new reports of Iran’s covert and alarming activities have further intensified global concerns.
On one hand, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported suspicious explosive tests at Iran’s secret sites. On the other hand, analysts warn that Israel is under pressure to make a decision about a possible military strike.
According to the Jerusalem Post, the IAEA stated in a special report that Iran’s regime has conducted several covert explosive tests, which can only be interpreted as part of developing nuclear weapons.
Iran’s Medicine Crisis: A Daily Struggle for Survival
In Iran today, access to life-saving medications has become an increasingly difficult and costly challenge for millions. Patients across the country face a perfect storm of drug shortages, surging prices, and concerns over the quality of domestically manufactured medicines. For many, what should be a basic right—access to essential healthcare—has turned into an exhausting and uncertain struggle. The price of medicine in Iran has seen relentless increases over recent years. Many medications that once cost a fraction of their current price now consume a significant portion of average household incomes.
For example, a respiratory spray that previously cost 50,000 tomans has risen to over two million tomans—a more than fortyfold increase. For a worker earning around six million tomans per month, such costs are unsustainable. In some cases, patients report spending up to a third of their income simply to maintain daily treatment.
Rising Tensions and Fading Prospects: Iran, the U.S., and the Looming Threat of Conflict
In recent days, a series of developments has signaled a deepening stalemate in negotiations between the Iranian regime and the United States, increasing the likelihood of a military confrontation. The prospects for reaching a diplomatic agreement have grown dimmer, while the risk of escalation has become increasingly tangible. The most striking indication of rising tensions is the hardening tone between the leaders of both countries. In a speech last Wednesday, Iran regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei delivered a defiant message, warning that accepting a deal with the United States would endanger the regime’s survival. He vehemently rejected American involvement in Iran regime’s nuclear program, asserting that uranium enrichment is not Washington’s business.
Why the U.S. Cannot Afford to Ignore Iran Regime’s Nuclear Ambitions
In a recent appearance on Fox News’ Life, Liberty & Levin, former US Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates issued a stark warning: Iran regime’s push for nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) is not just a regional concern—it’s a direct threat to the United States. According to Coates, the Iranian regime’s long-standing “Death to America” mantra is not rhetorical flourish but official policy, one backed by decades of hostile activity across the globe.
“Iran has been responsible for the deaths of Americans in Beirut, Iraq, Latin America, and most recently via proxies involved in the October 7 attacks,” Coates explained.
