UPDATE: 8:30 PM<\/span><\/p>\n Labour wants to proscribe Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group by changing the law\u00a0if it wins the election<\/a>, The Telegraph understands. Both Yvette Cooper and David Lammy, who are set to become home secretary and foreign secretary respectively if the Labour Party\u00a0takes office next week<\/a>, are backing the new approach.<\/p>\n The Tories have been considering proscribing the\u00a0Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a> (IRGC) for more than a year but declined to act after splits between the Home Office and Foreign Office over how such a move would damage diplomatic ties with Iran.\u00a0Prescription is a mechanism that allows a government to formally declare a group a terrorist organisation, after which it is a criminal offence to belong to the group or encourage support.<\/p>\n Labour has concluded that the current approach is outdated and wants a different approach to bodies, such as the IRGC, which are closely interwoven with the state.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n A significant European protest is expected this Saturday in Berlin, where “tens of thousands of Iranians” will demonstrate against the results of the Iranian presidential elections scheduled for the day before. These elections follow the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter accident on May 20.<\/p>\n Shahin Gobadi, spokesman for the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which positions itself as “the main coalition of democratic opposition to the Iranian regime,” shared this information with ANSA in Berlin.<\/p>\n On June 29, demonstrators will gather in Berlin from all over Germany and Europe to send a clear message: “In Iran, under the rule of religious fascism, this is not the time for elections; it is the time for revolution.”<\/p>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n Earlier this month, Rafael Grossi, the International Atomic Energy Authority\u2019s director-general, told a meeting in Vienna that its inspectors had been denied access to Iran for over three years. He expressed grave fears about the regime\u2019s violation of its commitments to the IAEA in international treaties. He warned that the mullahs had continued to increase their stockpile of enriched uranium, much of which is now at 60 percent purity, a hair\u2019s breadth away from weapons-grade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThere has been no progress in resolving the outstanding safeguards issues,\u201d Grossi revealed. \u201cIran has not provided the agency with technically credible explanations for the presence of uranium particles of anthropogenic origin at Varamin and Turquzabad or informed the agency of the current location(s) of the nuclear material and\/or of contaminated equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n UPDATE: 3:00 PM<\/span><\/p>\n A new report from an Iranian resistance group alleges that the Islamist regime has\u00a0attempted to dodge U.S. sanctions<\/a> on its nuclear programs by shifting personnel and resources to a university closely associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).<\/p>\n “Ever since The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) exposed the Iranian regime\u2019s previously undisclosed nuclear program in 2002 \u2026 the regime has persistently thwarted the IAEA\u2019s efforts to uncover the full scope of its nuclear weapons ambitions,” Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the Washington office of the NCRI told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n “Our revelations have shown that Tehran\u2019s nuclear program has always been about building the nuclear bomb, and it is run by the IRGC,” he argued. “The weaponization part of the nuclear program has not only remained intact but has expanded and enhanced with no meaningful scrutiny.” Jafarzadeh first revealed the details of Iran\u2019s nuclear program in 2002.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n UPDATE: 9:00 AM<\/span><\/p>\n With the Iranian regime\u2019s sham presidential elections scheduled for Friday, regime officials are going the extra mile to convince the people to participate in the elections and cast their ballots for one of the six candidates, all of whom are known criminals. The regime is resorting to deceitful tactics such as television shows, debates, and other publicity stunts to create the impression that the country\u2019s problems will be solved if people vote in the elections.<\/p>\n But none of the regime\u2019s theatrics and propaganda efforts are fooling the people of Iran. Iran\u2019s rebellious youths are casting their votes early by setting fire to the regime\u2019s propaganda posters and targeting the regime\u2019s centers of corruption and suppression, making it clear that their choice is regime change.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n Iranian regime president Ali Khamenei, in a meeting with the judiciary judges, warned them against relying on human rights principles. By labeling human rights as \u201cWestern,\u201d he described the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as \u201cwrong\u201d and \u201cWestern.\u201d Khamenei did not specify which judges had referenced this declaration or similar principles, but his statements once again prove that the clerical regime fundamentally does not believe in human rights and considers it a product of \u201catheistic thought.\u201d Even when forced to verbally and superficially accept human rights, they add an \u201cIslamic\u201d (read fundamentalist) suffix to justify their inhumane laws.<\/p>\n Khamenei, with his deceptive methods, calls the Universal Declaration of Human Rights a Western achievement, whereas this declaration is an international covenant adopted on December 10, 1948, in Paris, three years after the establishment of the United Nations following World War II, addressing fundamental human rights. The declaration consists of a preamble and 30 articles and has held international legal validity since its adoption, with many countries incorporating it into their constitutions.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n Earlier this month, Rafael Grossi, the International Atomic Energy Authority\u2019s director-general, told a meeting in Vienna that its inspectors had been denied access to Iran for over three years.

Prisons under the mullahs\u2019 dictatorial rule have always been sites of fierce confrontation between political prisoners and the government. However, women and girls who dared challenge the mullahs suffered disproportionately. From girls as young as 12 to pregnant, elderly, and even ailing women, they endured physical and systematic sexual violence at the hands of prison guards and interrogators.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n A human rights organization reported that the judiciary of Iran\u2019s regime sentenced the accused in the \u201cEvin Prison fire\u201d case to a total of \u201c265 years\u201d in prison and \u201cover 5,000 lashes.\u201d<\/p>\n The Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported on Monday, June 24, that Branch 1148 of the Tehran Criminal Court sentenced 40 defendants in the 2022\u00a0Evin Prison fire<\/a>\u00a0case to \u201cimprisonment, lashes, and blood money.\u201d<\/p>\n These prisoners, who faced charges following the Evin Prison fire on the night of October 15, 2022, are currently serving sentences related to previous cases in Greater Tehran and Ghezel Hesar prisons.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n According to a report by the state-run Donyay-e-Eghtesad website, which also reviews and publishes economic and livelihood statistics, 52% of the minimum wage of a four-person Iranian household in May 2024 was spent on food. A year ago, this share was higher, around 58%.\u00a0In both cases, Iranian households spend more than half of their income on food, which, compared to global and even regional averages, indicates the poor state of Iranian wage earners and the overall economy of Iran.<\/p>\n Ernst Engel, a 19th-century German statistician and economist, proposed a theory that has consistently been confirmed in practice: household income and\u00a0food expenditure<\/a>\u00a0have an inverse relationship. As household income increases, the share spent on food decreases, even if more food is consumed. Conversely, the poorer a household, the larger the share of its income spent on food.<\/p>\nLabour \u2018Will Change The Law to Officially Declare Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard A Terrorist Group\u2019<\/h3>\n
