2025 Trafficking in Persons Report: Iran<\/h3>\n

\"unitedThe Government of Iran does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so. Iran remained on Tier 3. Despite the lack of significant efforts, the government took some minor steps to address trafficking, including participation in an international anti-trafficking conference with regional counterparts. However, during the reporting period, there was a government policy or pattern of employing or recruiting child soldiers and human trafficking. Media reports alleged officials continued to perpetrate and condone trafficking crimes with impunity, both in Iran and abroad, and officials did not report law enforcement efforts to address the crime. The government did not report any investigations, prosecutions, or convictions of traffickers, undercutting the government\u2019s efforts to hold sex and labor traffickers criminally accountable.<\/p>\n

US Sanctions on India\u2019s Strategic Chabahar Port in Iran Come into Effect<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The United States’ renewed sanctions on India\u2019s Chabahar port project in Iran came into effect on Monday, in a significant setback for New Delhi\u2019s regional ambitions and its decades-long strategic engagement with Tehran.<\/p>\n

The move ends a rare exemption that had allowed Indian companies to continue developing the Chabahar port despite earlier US sanctions on Iran.<\/p>\n

The sanctions follow a return of wide-ranging UN measures on Iran, as Washington, European allies, and Israel continue to pressure Tehran over its nuclear program. State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told AFP that the exemption was revoked \u201cconsistent with President Trump\u2019s maximum pressure policy to isolate the Iranian regime\u201d and that it had been made \u201cfor Afghanistan reconstruction assistance and economic development.\u201d<\/p>\n

UN Experts Appalled by Unprecedented Execution Spree in Iran with Over 1000 Killed in Nine Months<\/h3>\n

\"united-nations-logo\"<\/p>\n

GENEVA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Over 1000 people have been killed in less than nine months of 2025, UN experts said today, warning that the figures represented a dramatic escalation that violates international human rights law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sheer scale of executions in Iran is staggering and represents a grave violation of the right to life,\u201d the experts said. \u201cWith an average of more than nine hangings per day in recent weeks, Iran appears to be conducting executions at an industrial scale that defies all accepted standards of human rights protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

At least 1,000 executions have been documented since 1 January 2025 to date. Due to Iran\u2019s lack of transparency, the actual number is likely to be significantly higher.<\/p>\n
