The chilling sound of the gallows is growing louder in Iran. In October alone, the clerical regime executed at least 285 people\u2014a horrifying statistic that includes women and even a minor. To the casual observer, this brutal display might look like a demonstration of strength. But to those who understand Iran\u2019s internal dynamics, this surge in state-sanctioned killing is not a sign of power; it is a desperate gambit by a regime teetering on the edge of its own legitimacy.<\/p>\n
The root of this desperation lies in the unrelenting anger of the Iranian people. The nationwide uprisings of recent years have made it clear that the population is fed up\u2014exhausted by decades of repression, suffocating poverty<\/a>, systemic injustice, and the brazen corruption that has hollowed out state institutions. They watch their nation\u2019s vast wealth, from oil revenues to natural resources, squandered on foreign warmongering and the regime\u2019s nuclear and missile ambitions, while they struggle to afford basic necessities.<\/p>\n This deep societal discontent is mirrored by growing fractures within the ruling elite. In a stunning admission, former President Hassan Rouhani recently acknowledged that the current parliament holds the support of a mere 10% of the populace\u2014a figure that confirms the opposition\u2019s long-held analysis of the regime\u2019s hollow legitimacy. The regime is fundamentally unstable, unable to arrest the free fall of the national economy or manage the chronic shortages of electricity, water<\/a>, and gas that cripple daily life.<\/p>\n The shocking rise in executions has nothing to do with any judicial process. It is a political decision made by Khamenei himself. His goal is to prevent new uprisings and to delay the inevitable fall of the regime. pic.twitter.com\/SwXf41rwdl<\/a><\/p>\n — Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) October 31, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
