The next massacre unfolds: Iran’s regime escalates executions, echoing 1988 horrors
The Iranian regime, cornered by escalating domestic and international crises, has unleashed a new wave of savagery against its own people. Under the direct order of regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the clerical dictatorship is accelerating its killing machine in a desperate attempt to terrorize the public and stifle dissent. The recent surge in executions is not merely a continuation of its brutal policies but a horrifying echo of the regime’s darkest chapter—the 1988 massacre—and a clear signal that it is preparing for another slaughter of political prisoners.

Iran’s Deepening Crisis: Expanding Bureaucracy, Shrinking Livelihoods
A multi-layered crisis is paralyzing Iran’s economy and society, as bloated institutions expand while citizens face mass unemployment and rising poverty.
Iran is not merely experiencing an economic downturn—it is confronting what experts describe as a “layered and interdependent crisis.” In a striking interview with Shargh newspaper, regime-affiliated economist Hossein Raghfar warned that the Iranian regime is now in its most fragile state in decades. “We are not facing a simple crisis,” he said. “This is a crisis nested within other crises—each one reinforcing and amplifying the others.”
Crisis at the Core: Shifting Power, Strategic Confusion, and Growing Public Distrust in Iran
After the 12-day war, Iran’s leadership faces growing cracks in the political structure, a faltering diplomatic strategy, and increasing public disillusionment, revealing a system under deep internal strain.
The political landscape in Iran has entered a phase of turbulence following the 12-day conflict, with evidence of both internal dissent and ideological disarray. While hardline outlets like Keyhan insist that the war is ongoing—portraying it as a hybrid battle that includes information warfare and global conspiracy—other voices warn that the regime is dangerously detached from both global realities and the demands of its own people.
The Fabricated Enemy: How the Iranian Regime Manufactures Fear to Maintain Power
From ideological purges to external scapegoating, Tehran’s survival hinges on a perpetual state of threat—real or imagined. Sometimes, nothing is more vital to a regime’s survival than the presence of an enemy. Whether real or fictional, the point is not authenticity—but fear. If people are afraid, if they believe there is a looming threat, then the regime has what it needs: a tool to suppress, deceive, and retain power.
Throughout history, many governments have depended on enemies to define themselves. To maintain their legitimacy, these regimes constantly pointed fingers outward, at forces allegedly conspiring to destroy the nation. These enemies—sometimes real, often imaginary—were invoked so frequently that eventually, even the regime itself believed in them.
Iran Accelerates Political Executions as Global Outcry Grows
Wave of executions, including political prisoners, sparks international condemnation and warnings of a repeat of the 1988 massacre. In a disturbing escalation of state violence, the Iranian regime has dramatically increased its use of executions in recent days, drawing sharp condemnation from international observers, legal experts, and political leaders across Europe.
Between August 3 and 6, at least 29 prisoners were executed across Iran, according to the Iranian Resistance. Among them were Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani, both identified as political prisoners and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The Resistance accused Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei of accelerating a brutal and merciless killing machine and called on the United Nations to act immediately to stop the executions.
