Iranian regime

A survivor of the massacre of political prisoners in Iran confronted Iranian regime representatives face to face at the United Nations in Geneva, delivering a scathing condemnation of the killings. According to UN Watch, Iranian delegates attempted to have him silenced during his remarks, which has fueled outrage online and drawn attention to the regime's 1988 massacre and ongoing human rights record.

An expert interviewed on Fox Business said the Iranian people were the first victims of Iran's regime, framing the government in Tehran as a source of repression for its own citizens rather than only a foreign policy concern. The remark is drawing attention as discussion continues over Iran's leadership and the hardships faced by its population.

Retiree protests are spreading across Iran, with demonstrators rallying against deteriorating living conditions and unpaid benefits. The unrest coincides with reports of deepening infighting within the Iranian regime and new figures showing liquidity growth exceeding 54%, a sign of severe monetary expansion and inflationary pressure. Opposition sources link the wave of pensioner demonstrations directly to the country's worsening economic crisis and internal power struggles.
