How Britain Can Help to Cripple Iranian Tyranny
As someone who has spent a decade presiding over the Mother of Parliaments, I am acutely aware of the value of liberty, democracy and the rule of law. These are values too often taken for granted in established democracies but denied to millions who yearn for them. Among the most tragic examples is Iran, where an oppressive theocracy has suffocated its people for more than four decades. And the issue is not solely a moral one. Iran has evolved into a major national security concern, even posing a terrorism threat on our own soil.
Signs of dissent within Iran are growing, but after forty years of this regime some sceptics question whether meaningful change is possible. Yet repression is not a sign of strength. On the contrary, dictators rule with an iron fist precisely because they are weak. They kill, torture and silence dissent because they fear the potential of their own people. Iran today is a country on its knees: its economy is in freefall, its public services collapsed, and even basic necessities like water supply are unreliable. The clerical regime clings to power not through competence, but through cruelty.

UNITED NATIONS — A U.N. Security Council resolution aimed at halting the reimposition of sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program failed Friday after weeks of last-ditch diplomatic talks appeared to break down days before the annual United Nations gathering of world leaders.
The resolution put forth by South Korea, the current president of the 15-member council, did not garner the support of the nine countries required to halt the series of sanctions from taking effect at the end of the month, as outlined in Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

Water Shortages Drive Migration to Tehran, Fueling Growth of Informal Settlements
Chronic mismanagement, climate stress, and lack of investment in rural infrastructure are forcing Iran’s villagers into the slums of major cities, deepening poverty and social unrest. Severe water shortages and restrictions across several Iranian provinces are accelerating a new wave of migration toward the capital. With Tehran already acting as a magnet for internal migration, the threat of expanding informal settlements is growing. Over the past two decades, much of this migration has concentrated in unofficial neighborhoods within and around the capital, home to at least 300,000 households. These communities are marked by dire housing shortages, poverty, and lack of basic services. For many, escaping parched villages has become the only option—but it carries three major consequences: rising food insecurity, the spread of urban poverty, and increased social instability.
