UN Experts Warn of Iran’s Ongoing Arms Embargo Violations and Rising Houthi Threats
A new report by the UN Panel of Experts on Yemen warns that the clerical regime in Iran continues to violate the UN arms embargo by supplying advanced weapons and materiel to Houthi forces, fueling regional instability and maritime insecurity in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
According to the report submitted to the UN Security Council on October 15, 2025 (S/2025/650), the Houthis “continued to pose a significant threat to peace, security and stability in Yemen and across the region,” carrying out deadly attacks on commercial vessels that have disrupted global trade.
The experts cited the June 2025 seizure of 750 tons of ammunition and equipment by Yemeni forces, intended for Houthi use, including advanced anti-ship and surface-to-air missiles similar to Iranian-manufactured Ghadir cruise missiles, Shahed drones, AM-50 “Sayyad” anti-materiel rifles, and Misagh portable air-defense systems.
The report also highlights growing cooperation between the Houthis, Hezbollah, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, noting that foreign operatives remain active in Houthi-controlled areas, in direct violation of the arms embargo established under UN Security Council Resolution 2216 (2015).
UN experts warned that the flow of Iranian weapons and technology has allowed the Houthis to sustain missile and drone attacks on shipping routes, threatening regional peace and international commerce. They urged member states to strengthen enforcement of sanctions and inspection mechanisms to halt further violations.

Trapped In Its Own Web: Tehran’s FATF Gambit Backfires, Exposing Regime’s Terrorist Core
In a stunning political humiliation for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the administration of Masoud Pezeshkian, the Iranian regime’s calculated gamble to gain international legitimacy has spectacularly backfired. On October 24, 2025, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) announced that Iran would remain on its blacklist of high-risk countries, delivering a damning verdict on the regime’s unchangeable nature just days after Tehran thought it had been able to maneuver its way out of its international conundrum. After a bitter seven-year internal war, the regime reluctantly ratified the Palermo and CFT conventions, hoping this concession would open the door to sanctions relief. Instead, the move has only deepened its international isolation while simultaneously igniting a firestorm of internal division, proving that a system built on terror financing and illicit finance can never truly reform.
October 2025 Report: Death Sentence for a Female Political Prisoner
The Resistance of Female Political Prisoners Inspires Iranian Women and Girls in Their Struggle Against the Regime of Executions and Massacre. With the unprecedented execution of nearly 300 prisoners in Iran, October 2025 has gone down as the bloodiest month in the country’s last 36 years. Among those executed were at least seven women, marking one of the highest monthly figures for women’s executions in Iran since the 1980s. This wave of executions reflects the fear and desperation of a regime besieged by multiple political and economic crises, unable to offer any solution to mounting public discontent, and striving instead to stave off an inevitable uprising that could bring about its downfall.

Sakineh Parvaneh: A Model of Resistance Among Iran’s Imprisoned Women
Sakineh Parvaneh, born in 1988 in Quchan, is one of the imprisoned women activists whose life represents the layers of repression faced by female political prisoners in Iran. She has been arrested multiple times and sentenced to a total of over seven years in prison. Her most recent arrest took place in March 2024 by agents of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), leading to her transfer to Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad. In April 2024, she was transferred to Evin Prison in Tehran, where she remains detained in the women’s ward. In September 2023, she was tried without access to a lawyer before Branch 1 of the Mashhad Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Mansouri. She was charged with “insulting Khamenei,” “propaganda against the regime,” and “collaboration with foreign media.” In October, she was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison — a verdict later upheld by the Court of Appeal.
Judges of Death – The Enforcers of the Clerical Regime’s Criminal Policies (Part 2)
In the summer of 2009, following the announcement of the presidential election results and the onset of nationwide protests, dozens of demonstrators were arrested by security forces. The order to transfer them to Kahrizak Detention Center was issued by then–Tehran Prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi. The Iranian parliament’s Fact-Finding Committee Report confirmed that Kahrizak lacked even the most basic sanitary and humane conditions. Officials at Evin Prison had already informed the judiciary that sufficient capacity existed to hold the detainees. Nonetheless, Mortazavi insisted on the illegal transfer. Inside Kahrizak, detainees were subjected to brutal torture, beatings, sexual assault, starvation, and sleep deprivation. Three young men — Mohsen Ruholamini, Amir Javadifar, and Mohammad Kamrani — were killed under torture.
Amnesty International Calls for Immediate Cancellation of Death Sentence for Iranian Political Prisoner
Amnesty International calls for the immediate cancellation of the death sentence of Zahra Shahbaz Tabari, a 67-year-old political prisoner. Amnesty International issued a statement calling for the immediate annulment of the death sentence of Zahra Shahbaz Tabari, a 67-year-old political prisoner held in Lakan Prison in Rasht, northern Iran. The organization emphasized that she was sentenced to death following a “grossly unfair trial” that lasted only ten minutes at the Revolutionary Court of Rasht. In its statement, Amnesty International said that during the first month of her detention, security agents interrogated and threatened Shahbaz Tabari to extract a “forced confession” on charges such as “taking up arms” and “membership in an opposition group,” but she rejected all accusations.
Iran’s Regime Still Struggles for Legitimacy After 46 Years
Forty-six years after taking power, the Iranian regime is still struggling to secure its political and social legitimacy within society. Once claiming broad public support, the regime now survives on a fraction of it. Even official figures from the 2023 and 2024 elections — despite being heavily manipulated — revealed that at least 60 percent of Iranians reject the ruling system. Regime-affiliated analysts have gone further, admitting that its real base of support does not exceed 10 percent of the population. The regime is well aware that over 90 percent of Iranians are relieved by the failure of its regional expansionist policies and wish for further setbacks. Across the country, the public message is clear: “Our enemy is right here — they lie, it’s not America.”
