Cartel Connection: Hezbollah And Iran Exploit Maduro\u2019s Venezuela for Cocaine Cash<\/h3>\n

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

The deadly U.S. strike in the Caribbean last week is being cast by experts as the latest move in a broader campaign to dismantle Iran and Hezbollah\u2019s growing narco empire in Venezuela.\u00a0U.S. officials say Tren de Aragua works closely with the Cartel of the Suns \u2014 a\u00a0network of Venezuelan<\/a>\u00a0military elites long accused of moving cocaine in collaboration with Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

State Department spokesperson Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital, “President Trump has taken numerous actions to curtail Iran\u2019s terrorist proxies like Hezbollah, such as sanctioning senior officials and financial facilitators. The president has proven that he will hold any terrorist group accountable that threatens the national security of our country by smuggling narcotics intended to kill Americans.”<\/p>\n

Iranian Dissident Group MEK Rallies For 60th Anniversary, As Regime Faces Increasing Difficulties<\/h3>\n

\"just-the-news-logo\"<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s largest Iranian dissident group marked its 60th anniversary in Brussels this weekend with a muscular display of support \u2013 amid the regime in Tehran’s increasing signs of strain from domestic unrest and geopolitical isolation.<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, better known as MEK, was founded in September 1965 to oppose the Shah. The group remains a lightning rod in Iranian politics, vilified by the clerics who rule Iran today but embraced by Iranians in exile.<\/p>\n

An estimated tens-of-thousands of those supporters from the Iranian diaspora converged Saturday on the Belgian capital, gathering at the symbolic Place de l’Atomium. They chanted and waved flags and banners as they listened to speeches from a high-profile lineup of political figures that included former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence; former Belgium Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt and Maryam Rajavi, MEK\u2019s leader.<\/p>\n

Thousands Of Iranians Gather in Brussels to Demand EU Action Against Tehran<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Saturday, September 6th, Brussels\u2019 Atomium became the stage for one of Europe\u2019s largest gatherings of the Iranian diaspora. Convened by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), thousands of demonstrators assembled at the Heysel Plateau to demand a shift in the European Union\u2019s policy towards the regime in Tehran.<\/p>\n

The march, held on the 60th anniversary of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), sought to project the image of an organized opposition ready to seize what they describe as \u201cthe structural weakness of the ayatollahs\u201d to deliver the \u201cfinal blow\u201d to it.<\/p>\n

The demands were precise:\u00a0more sanctions<\/a>, an end to impunity, and above all, the inclusion of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) on the\u00a0EU list of terrorist organizations<\/a>. NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi stressed that the objective is to establish a \u201cdemocratic, secular and non-nuclear republic,\u201d with a separation between religion and state, and appealed to European governments to recognize the right of Iranians to organize to overthrow the \u201cclerical dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Execution of Political Prisoner Mehran Bahramian in Isfahan\u2019s Dastgerd Prison<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Early this morning, Iranian authorities executed political prisoner Mehran Bahramian, 32, at Dastgerd Prison in the city of Isfahan. Bahramian, originally from the city of Semirom in Isfahan Province, had been arrested in connection with the nationwide protests following the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022. According to Mizan, the official news agency of Iran\u2019s judiciary, Bahramian was accused of involvement in an alleged attack on a security forces\u2019 vehicle on 31 December 2022, in the Semirom region. The report claims that Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran\u2019s security forces, was killed in the incident. Bahramian was convicted of moharebeh (\u201cwaging war against God\u201d), a charge frequently used against political dissidents and protestors in Iran.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Education Crisis Deepens as Nearly One Million Students Drop Out<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As concerns mount over the rising number of children and adolescents leaving school in Iran, the regime\u2019s Minister of Education has admitted that nearly one million students are currently out of school. In an interview with the state-run ILNA news agency, Minister Alireza Kazemi confirmed that 950,000 children have either dropped out or never enrolled. He claimed the Ministry of Education has \u201cperson-by-person\u201d statistics and dismissed reports suggesting the real number could be twice as high. However, this contrasts sharply with earlier remarks by Farshad Ebrahimpour, a member of the regime\u2019s Parliament Education Commission. In October 2024, Ebrahimpour revealed that two million students had not registered for the 2024\u20132025 academic year, blaming widespread poverty and families\u2019 inability to cover education costs.<\/p>\n
