Major Terror Attack ‘Was Just HOURS Away’ Before It Was Foiled by the Special Forces and Police: Seven Iranians Arrested in Raids After ‘Biggest Counter-State Threat in Years’
Police and MI5 have foiled a suspected plot by Iranian terrorists to carry out a major attack in Britain.
Counter-terror officers and Special Forces raided two suspected Iranian cells in a ‘highly significant’ operation to tackle growing activity by the hostile state in the UK.
Sources said the alleged plot to target a UK premises was a ‘major attack’ that could have led to an imminent threat to life. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said last night that the arrests on Saturday ‘reflect some of the biggest counter-state threat and counter-terrorism operations we have seen in recent years’.
Asked about possible links to the Iranian state, she said: ‘These are major operations and the ongoing investigation is immensely important, and, of course, it involves Iranian nationals in both investigations. But this reflects the complexity of the kinds of challenges to our national security we continue to face.’

Trump Calls for ‘Total Dismantlement’ of Iranian Regime’s Nuclear Program, Blames Tehran for Regional Instability
In a wide-ranging interview aired Sunday, May 4, 2025, on NBC’s Meet the Press, U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his hardline stance against Iran, calling for the “total dismantlement” of the country’s nuclear program and rejecting any compromise allowing civilian nuclear capabilities.
“That’s all I’d accept,” Trump told moderator Kristen Welker, dismissing arguments that the regime might pursue nuclear energy for electricity. “They have so much oil—what do they need it for?”
Trump also announced that he imposed new sanctions on Iranian oil just two days prior, signaling a continued push to economically pressure Tehran. He blamed the clerical regime for fueling regional violence, linking its financial recovery under the Biden administration to the October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas. “Hamas would’ve had no money,” Trump said. “Iran was broke. And now… they became very rich.”
Trump asserted that under his leadership, the Iranian regime had been “ready to make a deal” before the 2020 election, which he again characterized as “rigged.”
U.S. Airstrikes Pound Houthi Military Sites Across Yemen as Iran-Backed Militia Faces Intensified Pressure
American warplanes launched a new wave of airstrikes early Saturday, May 3, 2025, targeting Houthi military sites across four provinces in Yemen, escalating efforts to curb the Iran-backed group’s attacks on regional shipping.
According to Al Arabiya and Al Hadath, at least 35 U.S. airstrikes struck weapons depots, missile launch platforms, and military positions in Saada, Al-Jawf, Marib, and Al-Hudaydah. Fifteen of those strikes focused on fortified Houthi positions and rocket launchers in Marib’s Madghal and Majzar districts, while six airstrikes targeted Saada’s Sahar district.
Additional strikes hit the Ras Issa port in Al-Hudaydah, where the Houthis continue to detain 15 ships despite earlier U.S. strikes aimed at freeing maritime traffic. Houthi media reported further U.S. strikes in Bani Hashish near Sana’a and in Harf Sufyan, Amran province.
The latest offensive follows Washington’s military campaign, launched in March, to stop Houthi attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden—attacks that have intensified since the Israel-Hamas conflict erupted in October 2023.
The Houthis, a militant group aligned with the regime in Iran, have escalated maritime aggression under Tehran’s influence, threatening global trade routes and regional stability. Despite international sanctions and U.S. strikes, the Houthis continue to restrict civilian movement on Kamaran Island and demand unauthorized fuel offloading at Ras Issa port.
Saturday’s strikes mark one of the largest coordinated U.S. attacks on Houthi infrastructure since the campaign began, signaling mounting pressure on Iran’s proxies across the region.

From Plasco to Bandar Abbas: Iran’s History of Deadly Disasters Exposes Regime’s Neglect
The deadly explosion in Bandar Abbas on April 26, 2025, which resulted in numerous deaths and injuries among Iranians, once again exposed the depth of the structural disaster in Iran under the rule of the criminal mullahs’ regime. The regime attempted to downplay the explosion as a mere “safety defect,” but multiple reports from eyewitnesses, port workers, expert investigations, and media accounts suggest otherwise. From the first day, the Iranian Resistance pointed to the haphazard accumulation and storage of explosive materials by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). News media, including the Associated Press, also reported that the smuggling of large quantities of IRGC missile fuel and their hasty stockpiling were the primary causes.
It is abundantly clear that this tragedy was not a simple accident or error, but a direct consequence of the dominance of the IRGC and institutions controlled by regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei. By seizing control of the country’s economy and trade, they have driven the nation’s infrastructure and all preventive safety measures and regulations to ruin, thereby causing such deadly catastrophes.
Iran Port Explosion Exposes ‘Deep Vulnerabilities’ in Regime’s Vital Sectors amid Unrest Concerns
The massive explosion that rocked Iran’s Shahid Rajaee port in the southern coastal town of Bandar Abbas has exposed the “deep vulnerabilities” of the Islamic Republic’s vital sectors as its concerns over internal unrest mount.
Iranian authorities this week have faced mounting accusations of negligence and an attempt to “cover up” death toll figures and the strong suspicion it was using a civilian port to import explosive materials for the military.
But what remains largely unknown is the extent of the damage, the economic impact and how it will directly affect Iranians already discontent with the Iranian regime.
Marzieh Farsi: Continued Denial of Medical Treatment in Evin Prison
Marzieh Farsi, a political prisoner held in the women’s ward of Evin Prison, is facing severe deterioration in her health due to cancer. At the same time, prison authorities continue to deny her access to adequate medical care. Mrs. Farsi suffers from persistent and debilitating dizziness that requires urgent medical attention. However, severe restrictions within the prison and the lack of access to specialized healthcare have effectively halted her treatment.
Despite prison doctors prescribing medication to help manage her symptoms, prison officials have refused to provide her with the prescribed drugs. This deliberate neglect has not only intensified her suffering but has pushed her health to a critical point.
Women in Iran Face Over 120 Forms of Social Harm: Tehran Council Member Calls for Urgent Reform
A member of the Tehran City Council has issued a stark warning about the worsening condition of women in Iran, pointing to more than 120 forms of social harm they face—including poverty, domestic violence, and gender discrimination. According to women’s rights activists, these issues are deeply rooted in decades of discriminatory policies implemented by the Islamic Republic. In an interview with the official IRNA news agency on Saturday, May 3, Soudeh Najafi—a member of the presiding board of Tehran’s Islamic City Council—highlighted the economy and livelihood as key contributors to the pressures on Iranian women. She urged a comprehensive review of current policies and stronger legal and social protections.
“Women who are unable to provide for their basic needs and those of their families due to poverty and limited job opportunities are more likely to face dependency and hidden violence,” Najafi stated.
Iran Human Rights Monitor – Monthly Report: April 2025
The Islamic Republic of Iran continued its systematic and widespread use of the death penalty in April 2025, with at least 129 executions recorded across the country. This figure marks a sharp escalation in state violence, reinforcing patterns of political suppression, ethnic targeting, and the execution of vulnerable groups, including women and juveniles.
At least seven political prisoners were executed during the month, and several more remain at imminent risk. These executions underscore the regime’s continued use of capital punishment as a tool of political repression, often in blatant violation of international legal standards.
