Iran, the Shadow of a New Massacre: A 1988 Repeat Looms in Tehran, when 30,000 Political Prisoners Were Executed<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am a doctor trained to observe and diagnose symptoms. Today, I see the deadly signs of history repeating itself in my country, Iran, and I am sounding the alarm before it is too late.<\/p>\n

The ominous echoes of the 1988 massacre, when 30,000 political prisoners were systematically executed, are reappearing. I write this today because I know that five political prisoners have been sentenced to death and separated from the others \u2014 a terrifying indicator of their imminent executions.<\/p>\n

Their names are: Vahid Bani Amerian, Pouya Ghobadi, Shahrokh Daneshvarkar, Babak Alipour, and Mohammad Taghavi. They were sentenced to death for their affiliation with the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) after sham trials.\u00a0This news comes just weeks after the execution of two other political prisoners, Mehdi Hassani and Behrouz Ehsani, who also belonged to the same opposition movement.<\/p>\n

Mike Pence Addresses Thousands at Atomium Rally: \u201cThe Iranian People Will Claim Democracy\u201d<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thousands of demonstrators gathered today at the Atomium in Brussels from 2 p.m. to protest against Iran\u2019s Islamic regime. The protesters are demanding an end to mass executions and are calling for a democratic alternative to be established by the Iranian people themselves.<\/p>\n

The rally received international backing, including from former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, who voiced his support for the Iranian people\u2019s struggle for freedom and democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here to support a free Iran,\u201d said Eliza, one of the attendees. \u201cWe came from Poland together with our friends and some people from Ukraine, all in one bus, to show that we want the people of Iran to live in a free country. For me, it\u2019s especially important how women are treated there. I can\u2019t imagine how it must feel to be a woman in prison. Women are not free there. It got a little better for a while, but now it has become so difficult again because they have no rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lawler Calls on President Trump to Restrict Visas for Iranian Regime Officials Ahead of UN General Assembly<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Washington, D.C. \u2013 9\/5\/25\u2026\u00a0<\/strong>Yesterday, Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa, sent a letter to President Donald J. Trump urging the Administration to restrict visas and limit the movement of Iranian regime officials during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session in New York.<\/p>\n

The letter details Iran\u2019s worsening human rights abuses and its ongoing support for terrorism following the recent 12-day war between Israel and Iran. The regime has escalated a brutal crackdown on ethnic minorities, women\u2019s rights activists, and political dissidents, executing nearly 1,500 people in the past year alone under President Masoud Pezeshkian\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n

In his letter, Congressman Lawler emphasized that standing with the Iranian people in their calls for freedom and democracy is both a moral imperative and a U.S. national security priority.<\/p>\n

UK Terrorists Being Groomed Online by Iran\u2019s Hardline Revolutionary Guard<\/h3>\n

\"gbn<\/p>\n

Iranian military operatives are understood to be recruiting individuals of Middle Eastern and Eastern European backgrounds residing in Britain as would-be terrorists through sophisticated online recruitment campaigns.<\/p>\n

An arm of Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) has used the internet and social media to put in place an informal but complex mosaic of sleeper cells and lone-wolf operatives across the country, ready to act at the behest of the regime.<\/p>\n

Their role is chiefly to spy, intimidate and harass, but MI5 agents have uncovered at least one major bomb plot which could have been as devastating as the 7\/7 London bombings.<\/p>\n

Iran’s Mullahs Staring into the Abyss<\/h3>\n

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

It\u2019s been a bad stretch for the Iranian regime. Back in April, the former Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Ali Motahhari, said in an interview that has caused uproar in Iran, that from the start of its nuclear program, the theocratic regime had striven to produce nuclear weapons. \u00a0He continued: \u201cAt the beginning, when we launched the nuclear program, our aim was to develop the bomb and improve our deterrent power\u201d. Motahhari then quoted parts of the Quran\u2019s\u00a0Surah al Anfal<\/em>\u00a0(60): \u201cAnd prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy. However, we failed to keep it a secret, and our confidential reports were revealed by the exiled opposition organization Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK)\u201d. This revelatory admission put the final seal on the mullahs’ attempts to renew their nuclear ambitions following the pummeling their clandestine sites received during the 12-day war with Israel and America in June.<\/p>\n

Bojnourd Prison: Female Prisoners Detained under Systematic Repression<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bojnourd Prison, located in North Khorasan Province is one of the main detention centers for women in this province. In recent years, it has become a center of repression, psychological pressure, and the systematic violation of the rights of female prisoners. Women held in this facility are forced to endure inhumane conditions, deprived of basic rights, and subjected to an environment saturated with stress and humiliation. Since the appointment of Reza Estaji as the director of Bojnourd Prison, psychological pressures and restrictions imposed on female inmates have escalated. At the same time, Mousavi, head of the women\u2019s ward, has enforced harsh restrictions and constant humiliation, making life unbearable for the prisoners.<\/p>\n

Iran: Hassan Rouhani Admits $500 Billion Nuclear Loss<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the state-run Asia News on Thursday, September 4, 2025, Hassan Rouhani admitted in a meeting with his advisers that \u201cthe opposition of hardliners in 2021 to the revival of the JCPOA caused Iran a loss of $500 billion.\u201d He claimed that agreements were ready during Biden\u2019s presidency, and their implementation could have prevented the 12-day conflict and the snapback issue.<\/p>\n

Rouhani\u2019s new admission about the \u201c$500 billion loss from nuclear-related sanctions\u201d is not an ordinary remark but a serious warning for the fragile structure of power within the clerical regime. His words are not merely an economic calculation but a clear sign of deepening rifts and confrontations at the highest levels of power, where the battle for survival is increasingly fought in the media spotlight.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

On September 2, Iran\u2019s regime-controlled parliament issued a statement demanding expanded defense capabilities and greater financial support for the armed forces under Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The move underscores Tehran\u2019s determination to double down on militarization and nuclear escalation rather than compromise with the international community.<\/p>\n

The statement urged full funding for missile, drone, cyber, and air defense programs, as well as benefits for armed forces personnel and retirees. Sixty members of parliament also signed a letter to the regime\u2019s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejecting negotiations with the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), calling instead for Iran\u2019s immediate withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).<\/p>\n
