Iran\u2019s Regime Braces for Fresh Protests as Europe Moves to Reimpose Sanctions<\/h3>\n

\"daily-express-logo\"<\/p>\n

IRAN\u2019S regime is bracing itself for fresh protests as Britain, France and Germany moved to reimpose international sanctions over Tehran\u2019s failure to meet nuclear obligations. The so-called \u201cE3\u201d has written to the United Nations Security Council, initiating proceedings to trigger the snapback clause of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).<\/p>\n

If implemented, it would restore UN sanctions lifted under the deal and further isolate Tehran from global markets. Megan Sutcliffe, a senior analyst with the Sibylline strategic risk group, said the impact would be immediate. \u201cIn the coming days, this will likely trigger significant currency valuation fluctuations in Iran due to the risks of UN sanctions being reapplied,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ireland’s Top Organised Crime Investigator Links Irish Criminals to Iranian-Backed Drugs Gangs<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

IRELAND\u2019S MOST SENIOR organised crime investigator has said the main driving force behind large-scale cocaine smuggling around our shores are Irish criminals but that in the background they have aligned with Iranian-backed organised crime gangs. Speaking to\u00a0The Journal<\/em>\u00a0recently, Detective Chief Superintendent Seamus Boland \u2013 who leads the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB) \u2013 said Ireland\u2019s own criminal networks are pitching for business with cartels in South America and in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s currently understood that the Kinahans are already heavily engaged with Italian mafia, particularly centred around Naples, and with cartels in Peru and in Colombia.<\/p>\n

But Boland believes that Kinahan-aligned, Dutch-based criminals are also working with Iranian crime groups linked to assassinations ordered by the Tehran regime of dissidents.<\/p>\n

While Iran\u2019s Regime Erases Graves, PMOI Resistance Units Vow to Hold Criminals Accountable<\/h3>\n

\"\u2018No<\/p>\n

While the clerical regime in Tehran deploys bulldozers in a desperate attempt to erase the evidence of its past massacres, the flame of resistance is burning brighter than ever across the country.<\/p>\n

In the southeastern city of Zahedan, the recent activities of the PMOI Resistance Units serve as a powerful testament to this reality. Their actions are a direct and defiant response to the regime\u2019s campaign of fear and historical erasure, demonstrating that the Iranian people and their organized Resistance will neither forget the regime\u2019s crimes nor abandon their struggle for a free and democratic Iran.<\/p>\n

The recent wave of defiance in Zahedan comes as the regime accelerates its efforts to destroy a crucial crime scene. On August 22, 2025, an official from Tehran\u2019s Behesht-e Zahra cemetery admitted that Section 41, the resting place of thousands of PMOI members executed in the 1980s, was \u201cflattened\u2026 and turned into a parking lot<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Political Prisoner Elaheh Fouladi, 47, Faces Forced Transfer to Psychiatric Hospital<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Prison authorities recently transferred Elaheh Fouladi in handcuffs and shackles to a hospital, where an order was issued for her compulsory admission to a psychiatric facility, an act that constitutes clear psychological torture and an attempt to crush the spirit of political prisoners.<\/p>\n

The transfer, carried out with violence by Qarchak prison guards, has sharply heightened concerns over Fouladi\u2019s fate. In Iran, the forced transfer of political prisoners to psychiatric institutions often entails the administration of unidentified medications and coercive treatments, leaving irreversible damage to their physical and mental health.<\/p>\n
