On the contrary, it reinforces a well-known pattern in authoritarian systems: external military pressure rarely produces internal transformation. Instead, it allows those in power to consolidate control, repress dissent, and conceal deeper crises. The debate in Spain and across Europe has often stopped at rejecting the war, without addressing the more difficult question: what the political outcome should be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Since the intensification of attacks at the end of February, Iran has entered a phase marked by external conflict and heightened internal repression. The leadership has used the war to reinterpret domestic discontent as a matter of national security, justifying harsher repression amid growing internal pressure. The January 2026 uprising illustrates this clearly: rather than opening space for change, the war has helped to close it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldiario.es\/opinion\/tribuna-abierta\/iran-bombas-guerra-no-traera-cambio-democratico_129_13112557.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iranian Resistance: \u201c4 Executed In 48 Hours, Save the Others on the List\u201d<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-325944 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ansa-italian-agency-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ansa-italian-agency-logo.jpg 283w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ansa-italian-agency-logo-150x78.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Early this morning, the heroic members of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), Babak Alipour and Pouya Ghobadi, were executed by the religious fascist regime in power in Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In December 2024, together with Mohammad Taghavi, Akbar Daneshvarkar, Abolhassan Montazeri and Vahid Bani-Amerian, they had been sentenced to death after months of interrogations and torture.

The pervasive sense of\u00a0<em>futurelessness<\/em>\u00a0now saturating the social landscape has emerged at the intersection of war, chronic inflation, and institutional decay.

It is the reproduction of a \u201cstate of exception\u201d sustained through chronic instability.
