\"townhall-logo\"<\/p>\n

As the 37th anniversary of\u00a0Iran\u2019s 1988 massacre<\/a> approaches, the international community faces a chilling d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. History threatens to repeat itself in bloodshed, as the world witnesses an escalating wave of political executions, state-sponsored incitement, and entrenched impunity in Iran.\u00a0On July 7, 2025,\u00a0Fars News<\/a>, an outlet tied to Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), openly praised the 1988 massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners. Under the headline \u201cWhy the 1988 Executions Should Be Repeated,\u201d the editorial brazenly called for a similar campaign of mass killing against today\u2019s political detainees. This is not mere rhetoric; it’s an official attempt to normalize and incite state-sponsored murder.<\/p>\n

Water Crisis, A Major Problem for the People Under the Criminal Rule of the Mullahs<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Like so many of Iran\u2019s resources, the country\u2019s water supplies have not been spared from the plunder and corruption of the clerical regime and its brutal IRGC enforcers. Years of mismanagement and exploitation have pushed Tehran and much of the country to the brink of a devastating water crisis. Power and water outages during the scorching summer have created unbearable conditions for deprived communities and ruined the livelihoods of countless farmers. Even regime officials and state experts are warning of an even worse crisis in the coming months.<\/p>\n

The reckless exploitation of water resources by industries serving the IRGC, the overuse of underground water, and the construction of dams benefiting regime-affiliated and IRGC-owned complexes have pushed even Iran\u2019s water-rich regions into crisis.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Resistance Honors Mossadegh\u2019s Legacy, Reaffirming \u201cNeither Shah, Nor Mullahs\u201d<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On July 21, 2025, Iranians marked the 73rd anniversary of the historic 1952 national uprising, a day etched in the nation\u2019s memory as a triumph of popular will against dictatorship. On that day, known in the Persian calendar as 30 Tir, the people of Iran poured into the streets with the defining chant, \u201cEither Death or Mossadegh,\u201d forcing the Shah to reinstate the democratically elected and independent Prime Minister, Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh.<\/p>\n

The 30 Tir uprising was a powerful stand against both the Shah\u2019s monarchic tyranny and the foreign exploitation of Iran\u2019s national wealth. It symbolized a nation\u2019s demand for a government that served its people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Raheleh Rahemipour, a 72-year-old political prisoner, remains detained in Qarchak Prison under life-threatening conditions, as medical and judicial authorities have both described her physical state as critical and urgent.
