In a clear sign of desperation, the clerical regime\u2019s judiciary is rapidly issuing and upholding death sentences against political prisoners, especially supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), in a frantic attempt to silence dissent. The recent cases of Zahra Tabari, Ehsan Faridi, and Manouchehr Fallah are not isolated incidents but part of a systematic campaign of murder aimed at intimidating a nation on the brink of change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/irans-regime-wages-war-on-dissent-with-a-new-wave-of-death-sentences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Narges Ahmadi Executed in Qom Central Prison<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-338603 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NCRI-Women-Narges-Ahmadi_EN-min-750x375-1-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NCRI-Women-Narges-Ahmadi_EN-min-750x375-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NCRI-Women-Narges-Ahmadi_EN-min-750x375-1-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NCRI-Women-Narges-Ahmadi_EN-min-750x375-1-696x348.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NCRI-Women-Narges-Ahmadi_EN-min-750x375-1.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the early hours of Saturday, October 25, 2025, Narges Ahmadi, a female prisoner, was executed in Qom Central Prison.

Sources close to his family confirmed that the transfer occurred only after weeks of delay, during which his life was in danger due to the risk of hernia rupture. Human rights activists have warned that such deliberate medical neglect amounts to a form of prolonged torture widely practiced against political detainees in Iran. Born in 1955 in the village of Pirlouheh near Tabriz, Porkar served as a fighter pilot in the Iranian Air Force before being expelled from service for expressing opposition to the clerical regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iran-hrm.com\/2025\/10\/26\/ayoub-porkar-former-pilot-and-political-prisoner-in-the-hell-of-sheiban-prison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s Economic Decline Deepens Nutrition and Health Concerns<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-338605 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-Economic-crisis-750x469-1-300x188.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-Economic-crisis-750x469-1-300x188.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-Economic-crisis-750x469-1-672x420.webp 672w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-Economic-crisis-750x469-1-150x94.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-Economic-crisis-750x469-1-696x435.webp 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-Economic-crisis-750x469-1.webp 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ahmad Esmaeilzadeh, Director General of the Community Nutrition Improvement Office at the Ministry of Health, announced that around 400,000 to 420,000 deaths occur annually in Iran. According to this official statistic, about 35 percent of these deaths\u2014equivalent to 120,000 to 130,000 people\u2014are directly related to nutrition and food insecurity. These figures, released by the Ministry of Health, illustrate the depth of Iran\u2019s public health crisis caused by inadequate diets and weak household livelihoods. According to data published by the Ministry of Health, unhealthy eating habits account for nearly one-third of annual deaths in the country. Detailed analysis by the ministry shows that insufficient intake of essential food groups, obesity, and diet-related diseases are among the main causes of these fatalities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewswire.org\/irans-economic-decline-deepens-nutrition-and-hea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Regime\u2019s Controlled Media and the Deepening Class Divide in Iran<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-338606 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-class-gap-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-class-gap-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-class-gap-768x470.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-class-gap-686x420.jpg 686w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-class-gap-150x92.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-class-gap-696x426.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Iran-class-gap.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the most powerful driving forces behind Iran\u2019s 1979 revolution was the explosive growth of class inequality. As the Shah\u2019s political repression intensified through SAVAK, economic disparity and poverty also deepened. Media outlets of that era routinely published statistics about social inequality, but under censorship and state control, they never dared to reveal the real causes or those responsible for it. More than four decades later, the same cycle continues under the current regime. Iran\u2019s state-controlled media are filled daily with statistics about poverty, unemployment, and social decay \u2014 yet they remain silent about the institutions and individuals behind these injustices. Despite countless reports, nothing changes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/society\/the-regimes-controlled-media-and-the-deepening-class-divide-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-in-brief-october-26-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Also, read Iran News in Brief \u2013 October 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 08:00 AM CET Iran&rsquo;s Regime Wages War on Dissent with a New Wave of Death Sentences The Iranian regime, cornered [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":338608,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[234],"tags":[277],"class_list":{"0":"post-338599","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-news-in-brief-news","8":"tag-iran-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
