UN Experts Warn of Iran\u2019s Ongoing Arms Embargo Violations and Rising Houthi Threats<\/h3>\n

\"Yemen-map-boundaries-cities-locator\"<\/p>\n

A new report<\/a> by the UN Panel of Experts on Yemen warns that the clerical regime in Iran continues to violate the UN arms embargo by supplying advanced weapons and materiel to Houthi forces, fueling regional instability and maritime insecurity in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.<\/p>\n

According to the report submitted to the UN Security Council on October 15, 2025 (S\/2025\/650), the Houthis \u201ccontinued to pose a significant threat to peace, security and stability in Yemen and across the region,\u201d carrying out deadly attacks on commercial vessels that have disrupted global trade.<\/p>\n

The experts cited the June 2025 seizure of 750 tons of ammunition and equipment by Yemeni forces, intended for Houthi use, including advanced anti-ship and surface-to-air missiles similar to Iranian-manufactured Ghadir<\/em> cruise missiles, Shahed<\/em> drones, AM-50 \u201cSayyad\u201d anti-materiel rifles, and Misagh<\/em> portable air-defense systems.<\/p>\n

The report also highlights growing cooperation between the Houthis, Hezbollah, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, noting that foreign operatives remain active in Houthi-controlled areas, in direct violation of the arms embargo established under UN Security Council Resolution 2216 (2015).<\/p>\n

UN experts warned that the flow of Iranian weapons and technology has allowed the Houthis to sustain missile and drone attacks on shipping routes, threatening regional peace and international commerce. They urged member states to strengthen enforcement of sanctions and inspection mechanisms to halt further violations.<\/p>\n

Trapped In Its Own Web: Tehran\u2019s FATF Gambit Backfires, Exposing Regime\u2019s Terrorist Core<\/h3>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

In a stunning political humiliation for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the administration of Masoud Pezeshkian, the Iranian regime\u2019s calculated gamble to gain international legitimacy has spectacularly backfired. On October 24, 2025, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) announced that Iran would remain on its blacklist of high-risk countries, delivering a damning verdict on the regime\u2019s unchangeable nature just days after Tehran thought it had been able to maneuver its way out of its international conundrum. After a bitter seven-year internal war, the regime reluctantly ratified the Palermo and CFT conventions, hoping this concession would open the door to sanctions relief. Instead, the move has only deepened its international isolation while simultaneously igniting a firestorm of internal division, proving that a system built on terror financing and illicit finance can never truly reform.<\/p>\n

October 2025 Report: Death Sentence for a Female Political Prisoner<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Resistance of Female Political Prisoners Inspires Iranian Women and Girls in Their Struggle Against the Regime of Executions and Massacre. With the unprecedented execution of nearly 300 prisoners in Iran, October 2025 has gone down as the bloodiest month in the country\u2019s last 36 years. Among those executed were at least seven women, marking one of the highest monthly figures for women\u2019s executions in Iran since the 1980s. This wave of executions reflects the fear and desperation of a regime besieged by multiple political and economic crises, unable to offer any solution to mounting public discontent, and striving instead to stave off an inevitable uprising that could bring about its downfall.<\/p>\n
