Facing an explosive society on one side and an uncontrollable internal crisis on the other, the clerical establishment is showing unprecedented signs of decay. This internal rot has manifested as a vicious infighting as rival factions, sensing the weakness of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, are now openly attacking each other. This infighting is not a sign of political maneuvering, but a symptom of deep-seated fear\u2014the fear of a population whose demand for change, so powerfully expressed in 2019, continues to haunt the regime\u2019s corridors of power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/six-years-after-november-2019-regime-insiders-expose-a-system-on-the-brink-of-collapse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before It\u2019s Too Late: The West Must Prepare for Iran\u2019s Next Crisis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-268650 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/townhall-logo-300x146.png\" alt=\"townhall-logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"146\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Every military commander knows that hope is not a plan.

He is not a judge in the legal sense, but a direct executor of the will of the security agencies. His name is tied to the issuance of death sentences, torture, and gross violations of the fundamental principles of fair trial. Since the winter of 2019 (1397), Afshari has served as a judicial arm of repression, playing a central role in eliminating political opponents, civil society activists, protesting women, and religious minorities. Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court, established for security-related cases, became one of the main centers of political intimidation during his tenure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iran-hrm.com\/2025\/11\/14\/judges-of-death-part-5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Confirmation of Death Sentences for Three Political Prisoners in Sheiban Prison, Ahvaz<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-339381 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Ahwazi-sentenced-to-death-in-Iran-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Ahwazi-sentenced-to-death-in-Iran-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Ahwazi-sentenced-to-death-in-Iran-1-150x75.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The death sentences of three political prisoners\u2014Farshad Etemadifar, Masoud Jamei, and Alireza Mardasi\u2014have been confirmed and officially communicated to them inside Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz.

In recent days, multiple reports have confirmed that these three political prisoners have once again been notified of their heavy sentences\u2014two death sentences each\u2014after months of uncertainty. The entire process, from arrest to trial, has been marked by severe violations of basic principles of due process, prompting urgent warnings from families and human rights defenders.

His statement, made after visiting nuclear facilities in Tehran, has intensified speculation about the resumption of nuclear activities. For more than two decades, uranium enrichment has been the central point of conflict between Iran\u2019s regime and global powers. After the \u201c12-day war\u201d and a U.S. military strike on Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities, the U.S. president claimed that Iran\u2019s nuclear capability had been completely destroyed. Despite the damage to its facilities, Iran\u2019s regime has declared it will rebuild them. Regime officials have emphasized resuming uranium enrichment and nuclear fuel production. It remains unclear whether the revival of enrichment will take place at the same sites or through newly built facilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iranfocus.com\/nuclear\/55989-has-tehran-begun-rebuilding-its-uranium-enrichment-facilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s Regime Grips Symbols and Spectacle as It Faces Its Darkest Chapter<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-339379 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iran-2019-uprising-fuel-station-on-fire.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iran-2019-uprising-fuel-station-on-fire.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iran-2019-uprising-fuel-station-on-fire-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With economic collapse, international isolation, factional implosions, and soaring executions, the ruling system enters a phase of ultimate reckoning. For five months, the Iranian regime has thrown all its weight into surviving a season defined by collapse and uncertainty. In an attempt to escape this dark chapter, its officials have resorted to bizarre and contradictory tactics: Friday prayer leaders claim drought is caused by \u201cviolation of the mandatory hijab\u201d, not by decades of environmental destruction. At the same time, the same establishment that spent 46 years suppressing Iran\u2019s pre-Islamic heritage suddenly clings to it\u2014commissioning statues of ancient symbols and even organizing music concerts to unveil them. Music\u2014especially for women\u2014has been criminalized, marginalized, and repressed since the establishment of the regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/infightings\/irans-regime-grips-symbols-and-spectacle-as-it-faces-its-darkest-chapter\/\" 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-news\/iran-news-in-brief-november-14-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Also, read Iran News in Brief \u2013 November 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 07:30 AM CET Six Years After November 2019, Regime Insiders Expose a System on the Brink of Collapse On the [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":339375,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[234],"tags":[277],"class_list":{"0":"post-339364","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 -
