From 1979 to 2026: A revolution hijacked, a revolution reclaimed<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As the Iranian regime attempts to mark the 47th anniversary of the 1979 revolution on February 11, the atmosphere in Iran is not one of celebration for the ruling clerics, but of open rebellion. The streets of Iran have once again turned crimson, fueled by the blood of a galaxy of martyrs from the recent January 2026 uprising. While the mullahs try to claim the legacy of the anti-monarchical revolution, the true spirit of that movement\u2014the demand for freedom and the rejection of dictatorship\u2014is alive only in the rebellious youth who are shaking the foundations of the theocracy today.<\/p>\n

IRGC: The Iranian Regime\u2019s Pillar of Survival<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since its establishment in 1979, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was not designed as a national defense force; it was deliberately created as an ideological parallel military structure to secure the survival of the ruling clerical regime in Iran. From its inception, the IRGC\u2019s core mandate has been the systematic suppression of society, the elimination of dissent, and the neutralization of any internal challenge to the ruling structure. Over more than four decades, this mandate has been carried out through escalating violence, entrenched institutional impunity, and deep integration with opaque economic networks.<\/p>\n

Setayesh Shafiei; She Was Left at 3. Shot Dead at 20<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Setayesh Shafiei was born into a troubled family, a home already strained by instability. But the defining fracture came when she was just three years old. Her father left her outside a childcare facility and walked away. At three, a child does not understand abandonment as a concept. But she understands absence. She understands that a familiar hand is no longer holding hers. That the voice she knew has fallen silent. That the air suddenly feels colder. That day, Setayesh lost more than a parent. She lost certainty. She would grow up under the supervision of Iran\u2019s welfare system, one of thousands of children raised in institutional care. But even among them, every child carries a private loneliness. Setayesh carried hers quietly.<\/p>\n
