These are values too often taken for granted in established democracies but denied to millions who yearn for them. Among the most tragic examples is Iran, where\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/capx.co\/iran-is-ruled-by-a-theocratic-cabal-the-election-hasnt-changed-that\">an oppressive theocracy<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has suffocated its people for more than four decades. And the issue is not solely a moral one. Iran has evolved into a major national security concern, even posing\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/capx.co\/tehrans-theocratic-tyrants-have-no-place-in-the-uk\">a terrorism threat on our own soil<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Signs of dissent within Iran are growing, but after forty years of this regime some sceptics question whether meaningful change is possible. Yet repression is not a sign of strength. On the contrary, dictators rule with an iron fist precisely because they are weak. They kill, torture and silence dissent because they fear the potential of their own people. Iran today is a country on its knees: its economy is in freefall, its public services collapsed, and even basic necessities like water supply are unreliable. The clerical regime clings to power not through competence, but through cruelty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/capx.co\/how-britain-can-help-to-cripple-iranian-tyranny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">UPDATE: 5:00 PM CEST<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">UN Security Council Votes Against Lifting Iran &#8216;Snapback&#8217; Sanctions Ahead of Deadline<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-257641 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/washington-post-logo-e1696940386965-300x172.webp\" alt=\"washington-post-logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">UNITED NATIONS \u2014 A U.N.
