Iran regime’s defiance increases tensions with Israel

  By Dr. Majid Rafizadeh Rising tensions between the Iranian regime and Israel have the potential to spiral into a wider conflict if not adequately addressed. There are several reasons for the heightened tensions. First of all, although the Iranian regime attempts to distract attention from the direct involvement of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria, Tehran continues to increase its military influence there and use its proxies against Israeli targets. Israel last month carried out an airstrike in Syria on a location where Iranian officials were meeting. Iranian leaders were reportedly meeting to discuss developments regarding their country’s drone and ballistic missile capabilities in Syria. The attack occurred on the same day that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed the Iranian government for an attack on a vessel owned by an Israeli in the Arabian Gulf. He said: “Last week, Iran attacked an oil tanker … and harmed the international freedom of navigation....

Iran: Executions in Zahedan, Isfahan, Kermanshah, and Shiraz

Denied any medical care, three prisoners succumb to Coronavirus in Karaj Prison

Last week, the clerical regime hanged four other prisoners in Zahedan, Isfahan, Kermanshah, and Shiraz. The regime executed Hamed Kheradmand, 35, in Zahedan Central Prison, February 19, Kazem Yousefi, 40, in Isfahan Central Prison on February 16, Mossayeb Faraji, 34 in Kermanshah’s Dizelabad Prison, and Mokhtar Valizadeh in Shiraz Adelabad Prison on February 13.

Meanwhile, according to reports, three prisoners died due to Coronavirus in Karaj Central Prison because they were denied medical care and medicine. Currently, a large number of prisoners in Karaj prison are infected with Omicron, but prison authorities are refusing to provide them with any medical treatment. Wards 7 and 8 of the Prison have the highest number of infected prisoners. Despite suffering from sore throats, headaches, fever, and chills, they are deprived of any medical care, medicine, or even pain killers. Overpopulating the prisons to the extent that prisoners sleep side by side on the floor to the edge of the toilet has added to the severity of the Coronavirus infection.

In recent days, several female political prisoners, including Somayeh Qureshi, Golaleh Moradi, Senour Tamara, and Senour Khalifani, were diagnosed with Coronavirus in Urmia Prison but are denied any medical treatment.

In another development, the 55-year-old Ebrahim Johari died in Ilam Central Prison on February 11, 2022, because he was denied access to medical services The regime had delayed his transfer to the hospital.

The Iranian Resistance draws the attention of the United Nations and its relevant agencies as well as UN rapporteurs and the European Union and its member states to the serious and systematic human rights violations in Iran and the torture of ill prisoners, especially during the Coronavirus outbreak. It again calls for an international delegation to visit Iran prisons, meet with prisoners, and take urgent action to save the lives of death row prisoners.

  By Shahriar kia Footages from Iran on Wednesday show the regime’s police humiliating youths on the street. Under the pretext of fighting crime and thugs, this inhumane measure is another desperate attempt to intimidate the public.   The regime calls defiant youths “thugs” to tarnish their image, w hile the youths  continue targeting the regime’s repressive centers. Therefore, the regime justifies its oppressive measures against defiant youths.     The real “thugs , ” who killed  1500 peaceful protesters  during the major  Iran protests  in November ,  are officially protected and wear uniforms of either the  Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)  or  p olice. Also, organized gangs affiliated with the regime freely circulate in cities with knives and terrorize the public and extort money from people. All the while, the mullahs’ regime arrests, amputates hands or executes those poor people  who are  forced to steal to...

By Sedighe Shahrokhi In a meeting with the head of the regime’s State Security Force (SSF) in Isfahan, central Iran, on Friday, Yousef Tabatabai, Isfahan’s Friday prayers leader and supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s representative, threatened women, paving the way for further oppression. “We should make the society unsafe for the few (mal-veiling women) and not allow them to break the norms on the streets and parks easily… The SSF should be given more authority in dealing with those breaking the law and the norms. We should not be afraid of any hostile action in dealing with the violators,” he said. One of the victims of the 2014 acid attacks in Isfahan These remarks once again show the regime’s misogynous nature. Earlier in 2014, Tabatabai’s statement against so-called “mal-veiled” women resulted in the regime’s thugs attacking young Iranian women and splashing acid on their faces. In a similar development, Abolghasem Yaghoubi, the Friday prayers leader and Khamenei’s representative in No...
