In Iran, authorities routinely justify the execution or imprisonment of political dissidents, protesters, and resistance activists through legal indictments that cite offenses against national security, public order, or state institutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Official statements often point to charges such as attacking government facilities, damaging public property, confronting security forces, or participating in actions deemed hostile to the state. From the perspective of the authorities, such activities constitute criminal conduct deserving punishment under existing law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yet a deeper legal and philosophical question remains unanswered: Is an action criminal simply because a government declares it so, or does the legitimacy of the law itself matter?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Throughout history, governments have frequently invoked legality to justify repression. Authoritarian systems rarely describe themselves as oppressive. Instead, they present their actions as the enforcement of law, the preservation of order, and the defense of security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/infightings\/when-law-serves-power-the-legal-debate-behind-political-executions-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Paris 2026: A Gathering for Iran\u2019s Democratic Future<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-345121 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ncri-washington-dc-rally-16052026-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"Thousands of Iranians gathered in Washington, D.C., to protest the recent wave of executions in Iran and call for a free, democratic and secular republic\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ncri-washington-dc-rally-16052026-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ncri-washington-dc-rally-16052026-768x436.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ncri-washington-dc-rally-16052026-739x420.jpg 739w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ncri-washington-dc-rally-16052026-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ncri-washington-dc-rally-16052026-696x395.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ncri-washington-dc-rally-16052026.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The history of a nation is not measured by ordinary dates on a calendar. It is defined by the decisive moments that alter the course of a people\u2019s future. For many Iranians, June 20, 1981, remains one of those defining moments\u2014a day when the newly established clerical regime openly revealed its intolerance of dissent and responded to peaceful demonstrations with bullets, arrests, and executions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The events that followed left a lasting mark on Iran\u2019s modern history. Hundreds were killed, thousands were imprisoned, and countless young men and women faced torture and execution for refusing to surrender their beliefs. The crackdown marked the beginning of a systematic campaign to eliminate political freedoms and suppress democratic aspirations that had emerged after the fall of the Pahlavi monarchy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The significance of June 20 extends far beyond its historical context. It symbolizes a choice that continues to confront Iranian society today: submission to authoritarianism or resistance in defense of freedom and human dignity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">For decades, the Iranian Resistance has argued that the ruling establishment was not merely another political faction born from the 1979 revolution but a system fundamentally incompatible with democratic governance. From this perspective, silence in the face of repression has never been a neutral position. Every concession to tyranny has strengthened the machinery of oppression, while every act of resistance has preserved the possibility of a democratic future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/iranian-opposition\/paris-2026-a-gathering-for-irans-democratic-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regime Insiders Admit That Majority of Iranians Are Dissatisfied<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-254008 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Hossein-Marashi-a-former-member-of-the-regimes-parliament.jpg-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Hossein-Marashi-a-former-member-of-the-regimes-parliament.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Hossein-Marashi-a-former-member-of-the-regimes-parliament.jpg-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Hossein-Marashi-a-former-member-of-the-regimes-parliament.jpg-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Hossein-Marashi-a-former-member-of-the-regimes-parliament.jpg-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Hossein-Marashi-a-former-member-of-the-regimes-parliament.jpg-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Hossein-Marashi-a-former-member-of-the-regimes-parliament.jpg.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hossein Marashi, secretary-general of the Executives of Construction Party, acknowledges parts of the social divide between the Iranian people and the Iranian regime. While officials have, over the past years, sought to attribute widespread public protests to foreign actors or opposition political movements, Marashi\u2019s recent remarks have once again drawn attention to the domestic roots of Iran\u2019s political and social crises. His comments, made in an interview with the state-run Etemad newspaper and subsequently reflected in various media outlets, sparked extensive debate about the depth of the social divide between the government and society.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the interview, Marashi spoke openly about the inefficiency of the economic, social, and judicial structures and emphasized that if the Iranian regime had been able to create a system viewed by the majority of the population as efficient and free of corruption, society\u2019s view of religious rule would also have been different. He stated that administrative corruption, economic problems, and distrust of official institutions have caused a large portion of society to distance itself from the government.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iranfocus.com\/iran\/58037-regime-insiders-admit-that-majority-of-iranians-are-dissatisfied\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Expansion of Rent-Seeking and Corruption in Iran\u2019s Car Industry<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-51794 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Head-of-Iran-Auto-Industry-Workers-Trade-Union-National-Car-Production-Is-Devastated-300x209.jpg\" alt=\"Head of Iran Auto Industry Workers Trade Union: National Car Production Is Devastated\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Head-of-Iran-Auto-Industry-Workers-Trade-Union-National-Car-Production-Is-Devastated-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Head-of-Iran-Auto-Industry-Workers-Trade-Union-National-Car-Production-Is-Devastated-768x535.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Head-of-Iran-Auto-Industry-Workers-Trade-Union-National-Car-Production-Is-Devastated-696x485.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Head-of-Iran-Auto-Industry-Workers-Trade-Union-National-Car-Production-Is-Devastated.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Car imports and the crises resulting from them have become one of the major issues in Iran today. In fact, Iran\u2019s automobile market has for years been plagued by monopoly, unrealistic pricing, and consumer dissatisfaction. In recent years, the Iranian regime promoted an import policy, presenting it as a solution to increase competition and reduce prices. However, market developments show that imported vehicles have not only failed to regulate the market but have also created a new form of monopoly and rent-seeking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The state-run Eghtesaad24 website wrote on June 5: \u201cCar imports were supposed to unlock the market; with the arrival of foreign vehicles, the monopoly was supposed to be broken, competition was supposed to emerge, and Iranian consumers were supposed to be able to purchase a quality product at a reasonable price after years of waiting. But what has happened in practice is the reproduction of the same old monopoly in a new form, not market liberalization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For years, public criticism was directed at domestic automakers. Many believed that the lack of competition had led to declining quality and rising prices. Using the same argument, the Iranian regime advocated for the liberalization of car imports.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iranfocus.com\/economy\/58040-expansion-of-rent-seeking-and-corruption-in-irans-car-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s Terror Cells in Europe: What Was Just Revealed in a London Court<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-329497 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK-Parliament_at_Sunset-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"The Palace of Westminster in London, the meeting place of the Parliament of the United Kingdom\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK-Parliament_at_Sunset-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK-Parliament_at_Sunset-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK-Parliament_at_Sunset-742x420.jpg 742w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK-Parliament_at_Sunset-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK-Parliament_at_Sunset-696x394.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK-Parliament_at_Sunset.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">LONDON\u00a0\u2014 Iranian state-sponsored terrorism on European soil has entered a shocking new phase, one in which traditional intelligence operatives have been replaced by the recruitment of European teenagers and transnational criminal networks.
