The failure of last-ditch talks in Geneva has not just confirmed Tehran\u2019s international isolation; it has ignited vicious infighting within the ruling factions and exposed a leadership that is paralyzed, cornered, and left with nothing but empty threats. This crisis reveals a regime caught in a self-made trap, where any move\u2014either retreat or defiance\u2014hastens its own internal collapse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/tehrans-nuclear-gambit-backfires-exposing-a-regime-in-disarray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran Protests Erupt as Fearful Ayatollah Resorts to \u2018Amputating Hands and Public Hangings&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-255663 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/daily-express-logo-300x126.jpg\" alt=\"daily-express-logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"126\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As Iran\u2019s government ramps up political executions, killing nearly 30 people just last week, activists say the Ayatollah is \u2018fearful\u2019 of losing power, resorting to \u201camputating hands and public hangings\u201d in an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-express.com\/news\/uk-news\/180014\/iran-s-reckless-plot-unleash-attackers-uk-overwhelm-mi5-agents\">attempt to intimidate dissidents<\/a>\u00a0in the wake of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-express.com\/news\/world-news\/180189\/date-new-war-israel-iran\">the 12-day war with Israel<\/a>.\u00a0&#8220;On July 30, a 28-year-old boy named Yusuf Amiri was killed in Tabriz.

Including their families, the number of dependents exceeds 15 million people\u2014nearly one-fifth of the country\u2019s population. Projections indicate that within five years, the number of pensioners will rise above 7.5 million, making nearly a quarter of Iran\u2019s population reliant on a system now \u201cracing toward bankruptcy.\u201d The Social Security Organization currently spends around 95 trillion tomans monthly on pensions and 25 trillion tomans on healthcare services. Yet its revenues fall short by more than 20 trillion tomans each month. On top of this deficit, the regime has left behind an ever-growing mountain of unpaid debts to the organization. Even emergency cash injections from the government are no longer sufficient to prevent collapse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"885\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/economy\/irans-social-security-system-on-the-brink-a-looming-economic-and-social-explosion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iranian Regime Enters a New Turbulent Era Marked by Factional Infighting and Social Explosiveness<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-328479 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/mohammad-bagher-ghalibaf-08022025-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/mohammad-bagher-ghalibaf-08022025-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/mohammad-bagher-ghalibaf-08022025-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/mohammad-bagher-ghalibaf-08022025-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/mohammad-bagher-ghalibaf-08022025-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/mohammad-bagher-ghalibaf-08022025-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/mohammad-bagher-ghalibaf-08022025.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The clerical regime in Iran is entering a new and turbulent era following the recent 12-day war, an era marked by accelerating instability, intensifying factional rivalries, and the growing specter of social upheaval.
