While press freedom faces growing threats worldwide, in Iran, impunity for crimes against journalists has become an entrenched feature of the ruling system and a deliberate instrument of repression. According to UNESCO data, since 2006, 85% of journalist murders worldwide have gone unpunished. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) ranks Iran among the top ten countries with the highest levels of impunity in crimes against journalists \u2014 a clear indication that not only are journalists under constant threat, but justice itself is systematically denied.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iran-hrm.com\/2025\/11\/01\/impunity-for-perpetrators-of-journalist-repression-a-systematic-violation-of-justice-and-freedom-of-expression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Iranian Regime\u2019s Mafia, Khamenei\u2019s Wealth, and the IRGC\u2019s Smuggling Operations<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-333500 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ali-Khamenei-makes-address-after-ceasefire-with-Israel-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ali-Khamenei-makes-address-after-ceasefire-with-Israel-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ali-Khamenei-makes-address-after-ceasefire-with-Israel-1-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jonathan W.

This shadow economy has not only boosted the financial empire of regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei and the IRGC but has also placed additional pressure on the Iranian people. Hackett, who has worked with the National Security Agency (NSA), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and U.S. Special Operations Command, said in a podcast by the Baykam Institute that the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA) and the reimposition of sanctions concentrated financial resources in the IRGC\u2019s hands.

The report acknowledged that the poorest households are under unbearable pressure as basic goods become unaffordable.
