The slaughter, which included seven women and two barbaric public hangings, has only accelerated in the first days of December, with at least 44 people hanged in just three days\u2014one every 90 minutes.This unprecedented wave of executions is not a sign of the regime\u2019s strength, but a calculated act of terror by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Facing a populace seething with rage, the clerical dictatorship is futilely trying to prevent another nationwide uprising through mass murder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/irans-execution-spree-a-desperate-regimes-last-stand-against-a-defiant-nation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Supporters of Iranian Resistance Rally in Brussels Against Executions in Iran<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Supporters of Iranian Resistance Rally in Brussels Against Iran Regime&rsquo;s Executions - Dec 3, 2025\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_jGJW4IalR2A\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FjGJW4IalR2A%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jGJW4IalR2A\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M6S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-12-04T06:56:19Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_jGJW4IalR2A\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FjGJW4IalR2A%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Supporters of Iranian Resistance Rally in Brussels Against Iran Regime\u2019s Executions - Dec 3, 2025<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jGJW4IalR2A\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FjGJW4IalR2A%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Supporters of Iranian Resistance Rally in Brussels Against Iran Regime&rsquo;s Executions - Dec 3, 2025\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Brussels, Belgium \u2013 December 3, 2025\u00a0\u2013 Supporters of the Iranian Resistance staged a powerful rally and exhibition outside the European Parliament to denounce the Iranian regime\u2019s escalating wave of executions.

According to informed sources, Kamali suffers from toxic thyroid disease, which causes rapid heartbeat, severe weakness, tremors, and breathing difficulties. Prison doctors had repeatedly emphasized that her condition requires specialized treatment outside the prison, yet no action has been taken. After she began her strike, prison authorities transferred her to the quarantine ward \u2014 a measure often used to apply psychological pressure and force prisoners to end their protests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iran-hrm.com\/2025\/12\/04\/continued-hunger-strike-of-parisa-kamali-in-yazd-prison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Khamenei Publishes Series of Posts on Women\u2019s Rights, Sparks Wide Reactions<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-338846 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iran-tehran-khamenei-speech-03112025-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"State-orchestrated rally in Tehran: a handpicked crowd waves Iranian flags\u2014rare in the regime\u2019s street choreography and mostly seen after the 12-day war\u2014aimed at manufacturing \u201cnational\u201d fervor\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iran-tehran-khamenei-speech-03112025-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iran-tehran-khamenei-speech-03112025-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iran-tehran-khamenei-speech-03112025-745x420.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iran-tehran-khamenei-speech-03112025-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iran-tehran-khamenei-speech-03112025-696x393.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iran-tehran-khamenei-speech-03112025.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, in a meeting with a group of women, criticized \u201cWestern culture,\u201d saying: \u201cWhen the subject of women\u2019s hijab, dress, and cooperation between men and women is discussed, domestic media should not repeat and highlight what Westerners say.\u201d His remarks coincided with warnings from members of parliament about what they described as \u201cthe rise of immorality and a nudity movement\u201d in the country.

The recent circulation of group photographs showing dozens of top Iranian university graduates who have collectively migrated abroad has triggered a wave of sorrow, anxiety, and public debate. At first glance, these images appear to be ordinary snapshots of young alumni beginning a new chapter overseas. Yet beneath the surface lies a powerful symbol of a national tragedy that has unfolded for decades: the mass departure of Iran\u2019s brightest minds. Each photo represents a quiet elegy for a country increasingly stripped of its skilled, motivated, and future-shaping professionals. Researchers have long warned about this accelerating drain of talent, but despite repeated alarms, the regime has yet to show any coordinated or meaningful commitment to reversing the trend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--EndFragment --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/society\/irans-deepening-brain-drain-reflects-a-growing-rift-between-youth-and-state-institutions\/\" 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-december-4-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Also, read Iran News in Brief \u2013 December 4, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 07:30 AM CET Iran&rsquo;s Execution Spree: A Desperate Regime&rsquo;s Last Stand Against a Defiant Nation In a horrifying escalation of [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":340142,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[234],"tags":[277],"class_list":{"0":"post-340137","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 -
