UN General Assembly Could Mark a Turning Point on Iran<\/h3>\n

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

New York may be The Big Apple \u2013 the world\u2019s financial hub and a city that never sleeps \u2013 but every September it becomes something else entirely. For one week, the city that defines commerce and culture transforms into the epicenter of global politics, as presidents, prime ministers, and diplomats gather for the UN General Assembly.<\/p>\n

Every leader uses the UN\u2019s bully pulpit to advance their national agendas, while countless sideline deliberations focus on pressing global issues. This year, the UN General Assembly (UNGA) \u00a0offers a unique opportunity to forge consensus on a new policy toward Iran \u2013 one of the most acute and pressing challenges facing the international community.<\/p>\n

Almost two years after the October 7 attack, with the Iranian regime playing a central role \u2013 and following a 12-day war with Israel and the U.S. in June \u2013 Tehran shows no sign of abandoning its nuclear program. A more assertive policy on Iran is long overdue.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s War on the Dead\u2014and the Living Who Remember<\/h3>\n

\"international<\/p>\n

She moved slowly along the path to Section 41 of Behesht Zahra, Tehran\u2019s main cemetery\u2014an elderly woman in a slipping headscarf, one hand on a cane, the other clutching a few wilted flowers. Section 41 has been sealed off for years. Beneath its soil lie the bodies of tens of thousands of dissidents executed in the 1980s. From a distance, the woman used to speak to her only daughter, buried there. This time, under a sun that seemed to press the air flat, she found bulldozers: heavy machinery chewing through earth and headstones. The hope that sustained her weekly visits was vanish\u00acing before her eyes. Her frail body trembled.<\/p>\n

Erasure is a policy. The Iranian state is not only silencing the living; it is trying to efface the dead. To dismantle the ground where families mourn is not a neutral act of redevelopment. It is violence against memory\u2014an assault on the moral record itself. It is, perhaps, a prelude.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the early hours of September 12, 2025, Maryam Shahraki, a female inmate at Fardis Prison in Karaj (also known as Kachouii Prison) died due to lack of proper medical care. She had been imprisoned solely for her inability to repay a debt of 3 billion rials ($30 at current exchange rate).\u00a0On the night of September 11, Maryam Shahraki experienced severe chest pain and was transferred to the prison\u2019s infirmary. However, the attending doctor and nurse misdiagnosed her symptoms as stomach pain and prescribed only a few painkillers. Without receiving specialized treatment, she was sent back to her ward. Hours later, around 4 a.m. on September 12, she suffered a severe drop in blood pressure and died before being transferred to a hospital. Eyewitnesses say her death could have been prevented had she received immediate and professional medical attention.<\/p>\n
