Germany’s Wadephul: Alignment with Gulf States on Maritime Security
Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA)- German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul aims to deepen cooperation with key Gulf states to secure maritime routes and combat Iran’s destabilizing policies.
Yemen’s Houthi militia is a “terrorist organization” which threatens not only Israel but also the free movement of goods in the Red Sea, the conservative politician said on Monday on the sidelines of consultations between EU foreign ministers and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the emirate of Kuwait. This affects the Gulf states as well as Europe, Wadephul said.
Therefore, Wadephul called for action to put an end to the Houthis’ attacks. During the discussion with GCC representatives on Sunday evening, he said there was a shared understanding of the need not only to address the symptoms but also to tackle the root causes.

Iran’s Regime Unleashes Execution Spree and ‘Slow Death’ Tactics to Crush Dissent
On the morning of October 4, 2025, the clerical regime in Iran committed another series of state-sanctioned murders, hanging seven political prisoners in the prisons of Sepidar (Ahvaz) and Ghezel Hesar (Karaj). These brutal executions are not a display of strength but the frantic actions of a regime cornered by public anger and terrified of a popular uprising. As Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), stated, these killings are Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s “desperate attempt to instill fear and terror in society and to prevent the eruption of public anger.” The gallows are merely the most visible weapon in the regime’s arsenal. Behind prison walls, a systematic war of attrition is being waged against political prisoners through judicial manipulation, psychological torture, and a deliberate policy of “slow execution” by denying life-saving medical care. This multi-pronged assault reveals a dictatorship that has lost all legitimacy and now relies solely on brute force to survive.

Melbourne Exhibition Condemns Iranian Regime’s Human Rights Violations and Death Sentences
Melbourne, Australia – October 4, 2025: Supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) organized an exhibition to highlight the Iranian regime’s escalating human rights abuses, focusing on the death sentences imposed on political prisoners. The event called for the immediate abolition of these death sentences and the unconditional release of all political detainees in Iran. Participants strongly condemned the regime’s repression and expressed unwavering solidarity with the Iranian people’s struggle for democratic change. Members of Melbourne’s Iranian community voiced their support for establishing a democratic republic in Iran, rejecting all forms of dictatorship—including both theocratic rule and any return to monarchy. Organizers emphasized the critical role of the Iranian resistance, especially the efforts of MEK Resistance Units active inside Iran, in their ongoing fight against oppression. They reaffirmed the Iranian people’s right to defend themselves in their pursuit of freedom and democracy.
80% of Positions in Emergency Medicine Programs in Iran Remain Vacant
Ali Jafarian, deputy health minister of Iran’s regime, announced that more than 80% of the capacity in emergency medicine programs and one-third of anesthesiology positions at Iranian universities remain vacant and have no applicants. On Sunday, October 5, he explained to the state-run ISNA news agency that over the past three years, based on a Ministry of Health decision, the capacity for specialized fields was supposed to increase by 12% annually. “We implemented this increase,” he said, “but since these fields have few applicants, the number of vacant seats continues to grow.” According to Jafarian, in 2024 about 1,600 residency positions in Iranian universities remained unfilled. In the key field of anesthesiology, there are about 440 available positions, but only 110 residents were accepted, leaving 130 seats without students. 80% of Positions in Emergency Medicine Programs in Iran Remain Vacant Ali Jafarian, deputy health minister of Iran’s regime, announced that more than 80% of the capacity in emergency medicine programs and one-third of anesthesiology positions at Iranian universities remain vacant and have no applicants.
The Regime’s Fear of Peace: How Iran’s Rulers Feed on War While the Region Seeks Stability
As international efforts for a Gaza ceasefire gain momentum, Tehran’s clerical rulers lash out in panic—exposing a four-decade pattern of survival through conflict, repression, and terror. As a U.S.-backed initiative for a Gaza ceasefire gained traction in early October 2025, hopes rose for an end to the devastating conflict. For the first time in months, diplomatic momentum and public optimism pointed toward a path to stop the bloodshed and begin reconstruction. Yet, in Tehran, the response was not relief—but fury. The regime’s official mouthpieces, Friday prayer leaders, and state media unleashed an aggressive campaign of denunciation. They branded the U.S. President’s peace proposal as a “devilish plan,” warning Palestinians not to trust it, and attacked the very idea of dialogue and compromise. The clerical establishment’s outrage revealed its deepest fear: that peace and regional stability would dismantle the political and ideological foundations upon which the mullahs have ruled for more than four decades.
