UK Foreign Secretary Lammy Reports on Snapback Sanctions Triggered Over Iran’s Nuclear Breaches in Parliament
On 1 September 2025, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced to Parliament that the United Kingdom, alongside France and Germany, has triggered the “snapback” mechanism under UN Security Council Resolution 2231 in response to the Iranian regime’s nuclear violations. Under the mechanism, if no new agreement is reached within 30 days, all UN sanctions lifted under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will automatically be reinstated. These measures include a full arms embargo and restrictions on Iran’s nuclear, missile, and drone programs.
Lammy emphasized that this decision was not taken lightly, noting that the UK and its partners had spent years negotiating to bring Tehran back into compliance. However, he argued, Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium is now 40 times over the limit set by the JCPOA, and Tehran has refused to cooperate with international inspectors or return to the negotiating table.
“I regret to inform the House that Iran has not complied with its legal obligations nor chosen the path of diplomacy,” Lammy said, stressing that the UK would not allow snapback to expire without a durable and comprehensive deal.
The decision marks a significant turning point in European policy on Iran, with London, Paris, and Berlin moving in lockstep to increase pressure on Tehran.
Thousands to Rally in Brussels Demanding Freedom for Iran: Support from Cuneo Mayors
On September 6, tens of thousands of Iranians are expected to gather in Brussels, in front of the Atomium, to take part in a major demonstration organized by the Iranian Resistance. The event — promoted as the “Free Iran Rally” — aims to reaffirm demands for a republican, democratic, and secular Iran while calling for a stronger international response to the regime’s human rights violations.
Among the participants will be Khosro Nikzat, a doctor-activist from Margarita and president of the Association of Iranian Doctors and Pharmacists in Italy. Protesters will urge Western governments to condemn the executions of political prisoners, the arbitrary arrests of dissidents and MEK supporters, and to speak out forcefully against the regime’s military nuclear program.
Demonstrators are also calling on international institutions — including the United Nations and the European Union — to adopt concrete measures, such as targeted sanctions, protection for political prisoners, and actions against entities responsible for repression inside Iran.

Biserko Warns International Community as Iran Glorifies Mass Killings
Sonja Biserko, president and founder of the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia, warned in Paris that Iran’s regime is celebrating past atrocities as “historic success.”
Speaking at a conference marking the anniversary of the 1988 massacre, she urged the international community not to stay silent in the face of renewed executions and open glorification of mass killings.
“When I speak of Iran, I do not speak only of politics or repression—I think of the mothers who still search for the graves of their children from 1988, and of the young Iranians who, despite everything, dare to dream of freedom,” Biserko said, stressing that “their struggle is not abstract; it is deeply human.”
Tehran’s Clerical Regime Falters – Snapback Process Underway
The snapback process against Iran’s clerical regime has already been triggered. The regime in Tehran now has one month to comply with the international community’s demands. If it fails to do so, all UN sanctions that were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal will be automatically reinstated. For the regime, this could become an economic stranglehold — and potentially a turning point. Several experts are warning of the risk of a new war.
Tehran’s regional influence is already weakening. Assad’s departure in Syria, a significantly weakened Hezbollah, Houthi forces in Yemen under attack, and Iran-backed militias in Iraq being pushed back all signal the erosion of the regional power base that has long been critical for the regime’s survival.
The Ashraf Massacre, 12 Years On: A World That Failed, A Resistance That Prevailed
Today marks the 12th anniversary of the September 1, 2013, massacre at Camp Ashraf, a day of profound sorrow and enduring inspiration. On that day, the Iranian regime and its Iraqi proxies carried out a crime against humanity, murdering 52 unarmed members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in a brutal attempt to destroy the Iranian Resistance.
This anniversary, falling just days before the 60th anniversary of the PMOI’s founding, serves as a powerful testament to two contrasting realities: the catastrophic failure of the international community to uphold its most basic obligations, and the incredible resilience of a resistance movement that refused to be broken. The regime believed it could end the story of Ashraf; instead, it turned its martyrs into legends whose legacy now fuels the struggle for freedom across Iran.
Leila Saremi: Over 40 Days in Limbo at Prison of Borujerd
More than 40 days have passed since the arrest of Leila Saremi, mother of political prisoner Farzad Moazami Goodarzi, yet she remains in prolonged pretrial detention at Tircheh Block prison in Borujerd without due process.
More than 40 days since her arrest, no formal charges have been filed against Leila Saremi. This indefinite detention violates principles of fair trial under Iranian law and international human rights standards, raising serious concerns about her legal fate. Judicial and security officials have refused to provide transparent information to her family or lawyer.

Qarchak Prison – The Slaughterhouse of Human Dignity and Forgotten Justice – Part 6
Qarchak Prison in Varamin is not only a symbol of repression and torture; despite all inhumane conditions and relentless pressure, it has also become a center of women’s political resistance. Women who have endured years of torture, humiliation, and deprivation have themselves become living testaments of resilience and justice-seeking. Their resistance is reflected not only in hunger strikes and open letters but also in their daily lives within damp walls and an environment rife with insecurity and disease. Maryam Akbari Monfared is one of Iran’s most well-known political prisoners. She has been imprisoned since 2009 without a single day of furlough and is now in her sixteenth year of detention. Multiple illnesses, including thyroid dysfunction, rheumatoid arthritis, spinal disc disease, and liver problems, have severely weakened her body, yet she is denied specialized treatment.
Iran’s Regime Agriculture Minister Admits to ‘Toughest Conditions Of Food Security’
Gholamreza Nouri Ghezeljeh, Iran’s regime agriculture minister, referring to the “abnormal” state of Iran’s macroeconomic indicators, said that the country is in the toughest situation in terms of food security. Earlier, the Ministry of Intelligence had confidentially warned about food security. On Sunday, August 31, Nouri Ghezeljeh also referred to what he called “the most unprecedented droughts” in a press conference, and urged agricultural sector workers to help the government ensure food security. The British magazine The Week warned in a report that Iran is on the verge of water bankruptcy—a crisis caused by drought, climate change, and chronic mismanagement—which, according to analysts, may become a turning point for the Iranian regime.
The Heavy Shadow of Snapback Sanctions Over Iran’s Regime
On Thursday, August 28, the three European powers triggered the “snapback” mechanism (the reinstatement of broad UN sanctions), setting in motion the process of restoring previous international sanctions. On August 27, an analytical report from the International Affairs Department of Iran’s Chamber of Commerce was published in the media and on social networks, outlining three scenarios for the country’s economy if snapback sanctions are implemented. The report, drawing on the experience of past sanctions and multilateral pressures, examined the outlook for indicators such as the exchange rate, inflation, economic growth, and unemployment.
Iran’s Escalating Electricity Crisis: Office Closures Expose Deep Structural Failures
Temporary shutdowns across 28 provinces reveal the regime’s inability to address Iran’s growing energy crisis. The electricity crisis in Iran has entered a new and alarming phase. Once limited to occasional and seasonal outages, power shortages have now become a chronic, nationwide problem, with devastating consequences for the economy, healthcare system, and daily life. In a desperate attempt to curb consumption, the Iranian regime recently ordered the closure of government offices and some public centers in 28 provinces. Officials presented the move as an emergency measure to ease pressure on the power grid. Yet beyond its immediate disruptions, the decision has exposed the structural failures and policy mismanagement at the core of Iran’s electricity industry.
The Core Disaster of Iran’s Regime: Decades of Delusion and Corruption
Beyond poverty, executions, and repression, Iran’s greatest tragedy lies in the rule of an incompetent and corrupt elite, whose hypocrisy corrodes the nation’s fabric. For more than four decades, Iran has suffered countless tragedies—poverty, mass executions, cultural decline, and the mass flight of talent. Yet all of these stem from a single root disaster: the domination of a ruling elite that is unfit, delusional, and corrupt, clinging to power through religious totalitarianism. This ruling class, occupying the seats of supreme leader, president, ministers, parliament, and judiciary, has shaped a system defined by repression, deceit, and lawlessness. The regime’s disasters against the Iranian people and freedom-seeking opposition have inevitably turned back on the system itself, hollowing out its very foundations.
Iran’s Mandegan Dam Sparks Fierce Environmental, Social, and Cultural Opposition
The controversial project on the Marbar River threatens ecosystems, heritage sites, and water security across southern Iran. The ongoing construction of the Mandegan Dam on the Marbar River in Semirom County has triggered widespread protests from environmental activists, local communities, and experts. The project, part of an inter-basin water transfer plan from the Karun River headwaters to the Zayandeh Rud basin, has been launched without proper environmental permits. Critics warn that it poses a grave threat to the Dena Protected Area and downstream rivers such as the Khersan and Karun.
