Tens of Thousands of Iranians Demonstrate in Brussels<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I recently returned from Brussels, where tens of thousands of Iranians from all over Europe gathered at the Atomium for one of the largest demonstrations in the heart of Europe.\u00a0Participants shouted in unison: \u201cNo to war, no to appeasement \u2014 yes to regime change through the will of the people and the organized resistance,\u201d as formulated by Maryam Rajavi, the elected president of the NCRI, in her Third Option.<\/p>\n

A significant part of the gathering marked the 60th anniversary of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) and the NCRI, an organization that has fought bravely and persistently against both the Shah\u2019s dictatorship and the clerical regime. This anniversary was a reminder of the resistance movement\u2019s unwavering struggle for freedom and justice over several decades.<\/p>\n

The demonstration turned the Atomium square into a sea of flags, banners, and slogans, with portraits of political prisoners and chants like: \u201cStop executions in Iran!\u201d and \u201cActivate snapback now!\u201d<\/p>\n

A Free, Secular, and Non-Nuclear Iran: The Dream That Begins in Brussels<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Saturday, September 6, Brussels became the beating heart of the Iranian Resistance. Tens of thousands of Iranians from across Europe gathered for a massive demonstration, organized to give voice to those who dream of a free, democratic, and non-nuclear Iran.\u00a0On stage, alongside Maryam Rajavi, the elected president of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), several prominent international figures addressed the crowd: former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, former U.S. Congressman Patrick Kennedy, former Vice President of the European Parliament Alejo Vidal-Quadras, and former U.K. House of Commons Speaker John Bercow.<\/p>\n

All of them strongly reaffirmed a clear message: the Iranian Resistance is the only true, organized, and democratic alternative to the current regime. They expressed hope that the next rally would not be in Brussels, but in Tehran \u2014 in a free, secular, and non-nuclear Iran.<\/p>\n

South Korea Takes Next UN Step in Iran Sanctions Snapback Process<\/h3>\n

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 8 (Reuters) – South Korea on Monday finalized a draft U.N. Security Council resolution that would permanently lift sanctions on Iran – a move it is\u00a0required\u00a0<\/a>to take as current president of the 15-member body – but a vote has not yet been scheduled, diplomats said.<\/p>\n

On August 28 Britain, France and Germany launched a 30-day process to reimpose U.N. sanctions, accusing Tehran of failing to abide by a 2015 deal with world powers that aimed to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

Under that process,\u00a0known as snapback<\/a>, the council must now vote by late September on a resolution to permanently lift sanctions on Iran, requiring at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, or France to pass.<\/p>\n

Iran Regime\u2019s Secret Execution of Protester Fails to Quell Uprising, Ignites Youth Retaliation<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the morning of Saturday, September 6, 2025, Iranian regime authorities in Isfahan\u2019s Dastgerd prison carried out another judicial murder, hanging Mehran Bahramian, a 32-year-old protester from the city of Semirom. This act was not a display of strength but a desperate attempt by a terrified dictatorship to quell the spirit of the 2022 nationwide uprising. However, instead of instilling fear, this brutal crime has backfired, exposing the regime\u2019s profound weakness and igniting a wave of defiant retaliatory actions by Iran\u2019s rebellious youth, proving once again that the flame of resistance cannot be extinguished.<\/p>\n

Kennedy Family Scion, Former Congressman Emerges as Strong Voice Opposing Iran\u2019s Ruling Regime<\/h3>\n

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

A leading figure of what is widely considered the United States’ most enduring political dynasty, Patrick Kennedy knows how the levers of power work.\u00a0Beyond being the son of late Sen. Ted Kennedy and the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, he was also a Democratic congressman representing Rhode Island for 16 years, before stepping down in 2011.<\/p>\n

He has more recently emerged as an outspoken supporter of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran \u2013 calling for increased international pressure to isolate Iran\u2019s ruling regime, amid ongoing opposition to its suppression of human rights and freedoms. And he’s also endorsed a\u00a010-point plan<\/a>\u00a0by the organization, better known as MEK, for a post-regime transition.<\/p>\n

Illiteracy Crisis in Iran<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

September 8, International Literacy Day, highlights education as a fundamental right and a cornerstone of sustainable development. While this year\u2019s global theme emphasizes promoting literacy in the digital age, Iran continues to face a deep structural failure. Official statistics and admissions reveal that millions of Iranians remain deprived of their most basic right: education. This is not a temporary challenge but a systematic violation of the right to education in Iran by the ruling regime. Ali Bagherzadeh, then-head of the Literacy Movement Organization \u2013 October 6, 2018 (14 Mehr 1397): \u201cAccording to literacy indicators for the age group six and above, the total number of absolute illiterates is 8.8 million\u2026 The number of semi-literates is also 10 million.\u201d Seyed Mohammad Javad Abtahi, member of the Parliament\u2019s Education Committee \u2013 September 25, 2018 (3 Mehr 1397): \u201cThere are about 11 million illiterates in Iran, accounting for 13 percent of the country\u2019s population.\u201d<\/p>\n

Khamenei\u2019s Delayed Meeting with Government Highlights Regime\u2019s Crisis<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran\u2019s clerical regime, met with the cabinet of President Masoud Pezeshkian eight days after the official \u201cGovernment Week,\u201d in a significant departure from the regime\u2019s longstanding tradition of holding the meeting on August 30. This unusual delay reflects both heightened security concerns and Khamenei\u2019s growing political isolation, raising questions about the erosion of his authority. For decades, the annual late-August meeting between Khamenei and the sitting government was seen as a symbolic affirmation of the regime\u2019s cohesion. This year, however, the gathering was postponed due to \u201csecurity considerations.\u201d The delay underscores not only the regime\u2019s fear of unrest but also Khamenei\u2019s transformation into a reclusive and increasingly insulated figure.<\/p>\n

Iranian Regime Judiciary Resorts to Absurd Fabrications Linking Resistance to Mossad<\/h3>\n

\"iran-judiciary\"<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of the massive Iranian opposition rally in Brussels on September 6, which attracted global attention, the Iranian regime\u2019s judiciary hastily staged another propaganda stunt. Officials announced the trial of four supposed \u201cMossad and MEK agents,\u201d dragging two detainees and even their relatives into court in a clumsy attempt to smear the Iranian Resistance.\u00a0The absurdity of the claim is evident. The names of those detained had already been provided by the Iranian Resistance to the United Nations and international human rights organizations in May 2025, a full month before the 12-day war broke out. This timeline alone exposes the fabricated nature of the allegations.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Methadone Crisis: Profits, Addiction, and a Hidden Epidemic<\/h3>\n

\"addiction-in-Iran\"<\/p>\n

A child and adolescent psychiatrist has warned that thousands of Iranian doctors have abandoned their medical duties in favor of profiting from methadone sales. Dr. Mohammadreza Mohammadi stated that more than 9,000 doctors are now engaged in prescribing and selling methadone rather than providing psychotherapy, counseling, or lifestyle interventions to patients. He said that weak supervision of addiction treatment centers has allowed methadone to enter the free market, fueling dependency instead of recovery. \u201cThis trend perpetuates the cycle of addiction,\u201d Mohammadi explained, noting that users repeatedly return to treatment camps without achieving recovery, while public dissatisfaction continues to grow.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Electricity Crisis Pits Industry Against Energy Ministry<\/h3>\n

\"Irans<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime\u2019s failure in providing electricity has set the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Energy against each other. Ebrahim Sheikh, deputy minister of Industry, Mining, and Trade of Iran\u2019s regime, criticized the Ministry of Energy\u2019s policies on cutting electricity to industries, saying that despite a sixfold increase in electricity costs for industrialists, the \u201cimbalances\u201d have not been reduced. On Saturday, September 6, Sheikh said in a meeting: \u201cWe have serious disagreements with our brothers in the Ministry of Energy, and we have completely lost our trust in this ministry\u2019s policies and do not accept their words.\u201d<\/p>\n
