Iran’s People Are Determined To Claim Their Rights
Iran is in turmoil. Fifteen months after Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei used the Covid-19 pandemic as a shield against social protests, calling it an “opportunity” and a “blessing,” this “opportunity” is gradually coming to an end and every passing day, the hatred of Iran’s 80-million population toward the regime becomes more evident.
Iran’s Regime Is Covering Up Its Old Crimes by Committing More Crimes
In yet another crime, the Iranian regime is preparing to destroy the Khavaran burial site in Tehran. In 1988, the regime carried out a mass purge of prisons across the country, executing more than 30,000 political prisoners in the span of a few months and secretly burying them in mass graves. Khavaran was one of the several sites where the executed prisoners were buried.
Iran Crisis Will Spur Protests
Iran is experiencing a number of economic, social, and environmental crises, which only increases the people’s hatred of the regime as the crises get worse and destroy the lives of the people. One of the biggest crises right now is unemployment and even the state-run media is reporting on it, which shows just how bad the problem is.
Khamenei’s Iran elections impasse
Less than two months to Iran’s presidential elections and the regime has yet to officially announce its candidates for the mock vote that will bring Iran’s next president to power. But this isn’t the only thing that sets this year’s Iran elections apart. An unprecedented number of Iranians, on social media, and during street protests, have called for a boycott of the elections. Iran’s state-run media are even calling the upcoming June 18 Iran elections, “the strangest presidential elections”.
Iran: 60% Uranium Enrichment
Iran announced that it is now enriching uranium to 60% purity, a dramatic rise from the 20% they announced last year and the 3.67% permitted under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which they began openly violating following the US departure in 2018. As Iran is now just one small technical step away from weapons-grade nuclear material, it seems obvious that the JCPOA was flawed from the start and failed to stop the mullahs from continuing their nuclear program; something that should have been obvious from their very first violations.
4th Iranian Teenage Girl Commits Suicide in April
A 17-year-old girl from Kuper village near Piranshahr, northwestern Iran committed suicide by hanging herself yesterday. According to the Human Rights News Agency, the 17-year-old was identified as Jineh Bourdian. An informed source said Jineh killed herself because of her family’s disagreement with her choice in marriage.
